About Local Motors

Local Motors Design is driven by a community of designers and car enthusiasts, with the goal of bringing to market lightweight and efficient cars through an innovative local assembly and retail experience.

All designers are invited to contribute to the community, both by submitting projects for the monthly design competitions and by sending comments and votes.

Local Motors - LogoWith the Community, Local Motors will choose which designs to build awarding prizes for both competition winners and designs chosen for production.

Cars will be built in localized facilities, focused on providing a personalized customer experience. Each facility will build cars designed and built to suit each local environment, and local drivers.

Each Local Motors design will be built in limited production.

Drivers are invited to visit the Local Motors facilities to participate and watch as their cars are being "born".

The target set for the new lightweight vehicles is to be the most efficient per class, initially using conventional internal combustion engine technology.

"By remaining small and decentralized we will adapt to new proven technology as it emerges. Local Motors cars are designed by the community, and built Locally."
