A new absolute eco-friendly vehicle with independent, low emission transportation possible for people who utilize wheelchair could definitely be an improvement in this system. For this, an eco-friendly vehicle, like an electric car which can steer through 90 degrees, thus reducing the turning radius with low efforts has to be defined. Automotive of present time does not have the ability to steer through 90 degrees. Such vehicles can help disabled people effectively. A lot of researches have been done on this field so as to implement this methodology but it has not yet been implemented. The idea is to use electric motors on any two diagonal wheels and a counter phase system implementation. The mechanism works at low speed only. The steering mechanism uses rack and pinion in defined gear ratios with the help of some bevel gears. The rear wheels are mounted in such a way that the power is transmitted even when it is being steered through 90 degrees. The vehicle is designed in such a way that it has facilities for disabled people to enter into and out of the vehicle without any external help. Even for people who depends fully on wheel chairs can easily enter the vehicle through the inclined passage provided at the rear side. Advantages of this system is that it can work in limited space and it reduces the time and effort for steering through 90 degrees thus making the system more flexible. It can be used for other applications such as parking, farm vehicles, trucks, forklifts etc.
