The paper presents a study on concept of ultra-light vehicle created by innovatory technology with laminate panels what provided low weight of self-supporting body and in consequences low vehicle weight. The usage of panels with aluminum honeycomb core and glass fiber based skins allows creating large flat surfaces for interior and vehicle body without any additional treatment. Glued panels with aluminium core make closed, rigid structure of selfsupporting body with relatively low weight. Independent suspension system which components are made of carbon fiber also guarantees low weight. Vehicle is powered by two electric motors BLDC type with power of 2 kW each, and they are placed in rear wheels. Low vehicle weight has important meaning, particularly for electric vehicles and its range. Presented vehicle belongs to L6-e category and does not require any licenses for driving. The vehicle is dedicated for disable people on wheel chairs. The fundamental problem for disable people on wheelchairs is getting inside a vehicle without any help. Proposed solution at the conceptual vehicle allows for getting the wheel chair inside the vehicle by the use of lower part of the rear door and the wheel chair play a role of the vehicle seat. Such solution also makes that the level of physical disability has no influence on auxiliary devices used for vehicle driving.
