We know that it is easy to change the theme of a mobile phone but have you ever considered seeing that idea come to the car era? Well apparently that is what the MOY concept is all about. It is a technology that allows you to change part or the entire car as far as the look is concerned.

Just imagine doing away with the usual repainting and various designs for your car which normally takes some weeks to a month to finish. Worse, if you don’t like the design, the issue of cost comes into play since you have to resort to a makeover.

But the MOY concept changes all that. You can just plug it in and change it whenever you feel like it. In fact, it can be a useful promotional tool for businesses since they can be great moving vehicle ads which we commonly see today.

MOY koncept was made for a generation used to using media to express themselves. The idea is everyone can design their own car on their own computer and then apply the design to their vehicle wirelessly or share it with others thru a website or even email. For those lacking creative skillz, there’s a slew of templates to choose from. The car is always connected so imagine dynamically changing your vehicle’s skin in motion.

In a move to perhaps help address the growing number of public commuters, Bangalore, BMTC has reportedly made a purchase order for 260 Volvo Buses in India. Bangalore, BMTC, already operates more than 300 Volvo buses in Bangalore and these buses have radically changed the view of what it is like to travel with city buses in India. For example, the buses are air-conditioned and feature low floors for fast and easy boarding and exiting.

“Surveys show that 60% of the passengers in these buses previously traveled in their own car or by motorcycle,” related Akash Passey, Managing Director of Volvo Buses in India. “For many Indian cities, the goal is to have more people use mass transit and, consequently, this requires new, modern buses.”

Volvo Buses has also received orders for 120 Volvo 9400 inter-city coaches to the State of Karnataka, in which Bangalore in the capital and to the State of Maharasthra, in which Mumbai is the capital. The orders are from customers already operating Volvo coaches and who have favorable experiences of them.
