In this episode, we explore a growing trend in the automotive industry: Low Tech. The term literally means “low technology” and stands in clear opposition to high tech.
This concept favours simple, affordable technologies that are accessible to all, easy to repair and environmentally responsible. Low Tech also promotes more measured use of materials.
In the age of the electric vehicle, two visions appear to be emerging.
On the one hand, vehicles packed with technology, screens and computers—taken to the extreme by Tesla with its large, highly connected cars packed with high-tech innovations…
On the other, much more streamlined, lightweight cars designed for everyday journeys, such as the all-electric Dacia Spring or the tiny Citroën AMI, which is limited to two seats and includes only the essential equipment. La Gazelle is another example, manufactured from composite materials in micro-factories.
What if innovation lay in the absence of technological innovation?
Our guests address this fascinating question:
Gaël Lavaud, Founder of Gazelle Tech
Pierre-Edouard Sorel, Development Director at Movin’On
Gabriel Plassat, Co-founder of Fabrique des Mobilités and Mobility Engineer at Ademe.
