Hiriko

What is the HIRIKO project?



HIRIKO is a new concept of urban mobility. A new way of understanding the relationship between the city, its citizens and their vehicles. Much easier, more accessible. Technologically very advanced: a 100% electric vehicle. And, the first entirely electric vehicle.
A project that has been conceived from the concern of providing an innovative solution to mobility in the new cities. More sustainable, more social and smarter cities.
The HIRIKO project is an initiative promoted by AFYPAIDA which includes the strategic collaboration of DENOKINN and the MIT's Changing Places Group.


This project was born in January of 2010. During this time, the “citycar” concept developed by the MIT has been picked-up and an enterprise consortium has been formed of co-manufacturing enterprises that have developed its initial prototype and industrialization by means of an innovative production and distribution model.
