It was originally conceived as a budget car,
. . . to help encourage French peasants,
. . . to move on from the horse, and cart.
But it proved popular enough, with subsequent generations,
. . . to stay in production for more than
. . . 40 years.
Now, French manufacturer "XYT,"
. . . make's it’s first electric car,
. . . made of just 580 pieces,
. . . this is compared to the usual
. . . 6,000 to 10,000 pieces that are used in a classic car design.
If you’re thinking that this stripped back approach,
. . . might compromise on safety, fear not,
. . . the vehicles have already passed all crash tests, and
. . . are more than roadworthy.
