>> A tough act.
The bodypanels.
City driving makes high demands on a car. It should be able to withstand the light bumps that often
occur when parking in tight spaces. It should also be light enough to remain agile in frequent stop-
and-go traffic, rather than having to move an unwieldy vehicle mass each time the traffic gets going
again. This car should also demonstrate that a stylish look can go hand-in-hand with respect for
the environment.
The bodypanels – body parts in high-quality plastic that are 95% recyclable – provide an answer to
these urban requirements. In combination with the tridion safety cell, they create the typical smart
fortwo two-colour concept.

Practical: small bumps can happen, especially
when driving in the city. In most cases, the
flexible smart bodypanels emerge unscathed –
but if the worst comes to the worst, they can
be quickly replaced.
Lightweight: the 95% recyclable bodypanels –
body parts in high-quality plastic – are
central to the environmentally compatible
mobility concept. This is because their
lightweight design helps to keep the car's
overall weight low, which in turn keeps
fuel consumption and costs at a minimum.
