the frankfurt auto show is currently underway and has so far featured a number of new cars with
a distinct focus on sustainability and size. running from september 17th through to the 27th the show
allows spectators to see the cars of the future and some concept designs that may never hit the road.
one of this year’s major themes was a focus on electric and hybrid vehicles, many of which were
compact bordering on tiny. here is a small selection of vehicles that were unveiled during the show.
