POD [Portable Oxygen Device] builds upon existing research in ionic smog purification to simultaneously address issues of urban air quality and mobility via the “last 6km problem." POD（移动供氧器）
我们通过研究以往净化雾霾、解决城市空气问题、与交通中“最后6公里”的一些报告，创造出了POD移动供养器。 |
The familiar ‘bengbeng’ is a motorized tricycle and a notorious polluter often used as an illegal taxi for short distances. POD hijacks a typical bengbeng and converts it into a plug-in electric vehicle, equipping it with a solar-powered ionic air purifier. By employing the tricycle’s maneuverability and redirecting its purpose to create a network of mobile pollution vacuums, POD legitimizes the bengbeng’s use as an urban taxi. Customers and drivers alike enjoy the personal benefits of a fresh-air commute, while participating in the scrubbing of the city’s air.
