The worldwide debut of Honda’s new concept car the 3R-C will be held at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

A three-wheeled single occupant vehicle, the 3R-C boasts zero carbon emissions as it is run entirely on battery power.

Honda’s EV-N model, a battery-powered city car, will have its European debut alongside the three-wheeled vehicle.

The chassis of the 3R-C allows the battery electric drivetrain to be mounted low down, which creates greater stability in the vehicle.

High sides on the safety cell of the model mean the occupant is fairly well protected from any side impacts as well as from the weather.

There is even a lockable boot at the front, allowing for secure storage of luggage or any other items.

The 3R-C could be a car for the future as the European Union is currently trying to reduce the carbon emissions produced by new vehicles.

It has pledged to ensure all new vehicles comply with an emissions limit of 130g/km by 2012.
