Welcome to Project Elevate — an exploration of mobility and innovation that goes beyond the range of wheels.With wheels mounted at the end of long, articulated legs, they are able to drive and walk over inhospitable terrain where regular 4x4s fear to tread. These bizarre-looking “cars” are designed to carry people or payloads over remote locations and can operate as either four-wheel drive vehicles or four-legged walking machines.

Hyundai conceives using these vehicles as Mars or Moon rovers.Hyundai New Horizons Studio , a unit focused on the development of UMVs, is opening a new research, development and lab centre in Bozeman, Montana, in the US.
