O conteúdo é original e todas as fontes consultadas estão devidamente mencionadas na bibliografia ou outras listagens de fontes documentais, tal como todas as citações diretas ou indiretas têm devida indicação ao longo do trabalho segundo as normas académicas. O Candidato Lisboa, 31 de outubro de 2019 RESUMO A presente dissertação tem como tema “Microcarros Europeus – Design e Mobilidade sustentável”. O principal objetivo deste trabalho traduz-se na construção de uma leitura sistematizada do projeto e implementação de microcarros europeus ao longo do século XX, tendo em vista não só o esclarecimento/definição do próprio conceito, mas também a perceção do seu papel atual e futuro a nível da mobilidade urbana sustentável. Neste sentido, percorrem-se dimensões como o design específico dos veículos, antecessores, autores e empresas envolvidas, assim como o contexto socioeconómico inerente. Como metodologia, realizou-se uma pesquisa exaustiva em fontes bibliográficas e fontes on-line, para além de contactos diretos com colecionadores e especialistas na temática, através de fóruns de debate e participação em encontros e mostras nacionais. Os microcarros consistem em veículos motorizados, que surgiram na Europa após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, num contexto de escassez de recursos económicos, energéticos e de materiais de produção.

  • The Britain Economy and Marginal Motoring 1915 to 2015
    The Britain Economy and Marginal Motoring 1915 to 2015 Introduction The wealthy portion of the population of Great Britain were no strangers to personal transport, having access to the horse and carriage. With the advent of the motoring era they were quick to convert to this new and expensive form of personal transport, the car. By 1914 the cars purchased by the wealthy Britons were heavy motorcar, some times very heavy. Other less wealthy people who wanted or needed a car for personal transport for business or pleasure turned to the makers of the less expensive but still very expensive light car. This article is about how with some distractions along the way, the ultra light car became more affordable to the general population of Great Britain. Cycle Car era Between the beginning of the twentieth century and the first World War, the first light cars were produced and a need for low cost motor transport was recognised. After 1912 all cars with engines less than 1100cc, were classed as cycle-cars for sporting purposes in Europe. The term Cycle-car was in general usage in Britain to describe all cars with engines with less than four cylinders. The cars with four cylinder engines being classed as light cars. Thing were not that clear cut, there were the true or primitive Cycle-car’s, all chains and belts, the economy light cars with twin cylinder engines, with four cylinder engines, and some makes of economy light car with either twin or four cylinder engines, all under 1100 c.c. The true or primitive cycle-cars made by utilising motor cycle type component, they were produced as a low cost alternative to the light cars of the time and for a period either side of the first World War had a significant impact on the motoring scene but by the middle of the nineteen twenties had virtually disappeared.
