2000 Fioravanti Tris Concept news, pictures, and information
In an environment where the low cost car will have e growing important part in every market, also the most developed, Fioravanti proposes again the Tris project.
The project of an economical car is typical of Italian design, Fioravanti wants to define a low cost car with new parameters, not only looking to production places where the labour costs are lower, but designing a vehicle that is intrinsically economical.
The purpose of this vehicle, characterized by patented solutions, is to influence a future series of cars which components will be strongly reduced in their number. Such components will no longer identified with numbers and definitions in respect to their positions, but they will be designed only for their function.
This is a new way to think and to approach the basic vehicle. The doors will no longer be 'right door n…' and 'left door n..' or ' rear door n…', the bumper will no longer be front bumper and rear bumper, the lighting will no longer be the front left headlight and rear left headlight. All these elements will be defined only as: OPENING FUNCTION, BUMPER FUNCTION, LIGHTING FUNCTION, because these components are exactly the same piece regardless of their position (left, right, front, rear).
Also the protective framework structure is influenced by this new approach; it is identical on both side of the vehicle, making the appearance of Tris typical.
The two rear side-window are identical too. This design fall on the whole production chain from development phase simplifying feasibility, engineering, prototyping, going on the production itself benefiting plant, tooling, assembly, logistics etc.
With the patented body solutions of Tris, we think is possible to reach a true low cost car, equipped with future eco-friendly engines or traditional ones, which dimensions don't need to be necessarily reduced.Source - Fioravanti

At the dawn of a new millenium, characterized by great changes in the motor world, from size of companies to the globalization of markets and new production and distribution methods, Fioravanti has felt the need to revise its concept of the basic vehicle; the basic essentials which are necessary both in developing countries like China, India, Africa.... and in developed countries, where the need for simplicity is felt, even in sophisticated new designs.
The general concept, which emerges from the research carried out with 'Nyce' is that of the maximum reduction of the number of components, not only in view of the automatic decrease in investment, but also with the intention of simplifying and streamlining, as much as possible, the design, production and logistics chain, both as regards the final customer, and the business-to-business on the Internet, where the relationship between constructors and suppliers is undergoing a revolutionary transformation.
The TRIS components, which are realized also with recycled material, will no longer be identified by numbers and definitions based on their location, but only by their FUNCTIONS.
For example, the doors will no longer be 'right door n°.....' and 'left door n°....' or 'rear door n°...', but simply 'OPENING FUNCTION', since the right, left and rear doors of the TRIS are exactly the same piece (Fioravanti patent in Europe, Asia, America).
Furthermore, as regards headlamps and tail-lights, 'right headlamp n°...' and 'left headlamp n°...' or 'right tail-light n°...' and 'left tail-light n°...' will be replaced by a single definition: 'LIGHTING FUNCTION'. In TRIS, in fact, this function is fulfilled by a single lighting unit for all four corners of the vehicle, with the added bonus of good illumination while backing (Fioravanti patent in Italy).
The same format is used for 'BUMPER FUNCTION' and for 'STRUCTURE'.
The structure of the protective framework, which is identical on the both side of the vehicle, has the particularly attractive appearance typical of the TRIS.
The two rear side-windows are also identical. The reduction of components will result in fewer and 'slimmer' pages in future virtual catalogues.
Our thanks go to Cecomp Spa for their collaboration in realizing the prototype.Source - Fioravanti
