It's incredibly pretty. The safety guys would have a field day though. An all-in-one vehicle + human crumple zone with lots and lots of glass.

Is it an Eastern European prototype?

Yes, this is the Sparky electric truck. It is locked for you. All I need now is the institution where it was built.

Still locked, think more about the places where Doblin worked

I was late to the dance, but in any case, here is another interesting photo of Sparky.
