Th!nk City nominated for Brit Insurance Designs of the Year

A nomination does not a win make, but the team over at Th!nk must be happy about anything positive these days. The town crier came in with news that the Th!nk City has been nominated for a Brit Insurance Designs of the Year award, hosted by the Design Museum in London. Like the iQ before it, the nomination means that the all-electric City vehicle will be on display in the museum until the middle of June. British designer Sebastian Conran nominated the city EV and said the City was, "Cute-but-purposeful, it exudes 'form, follows function' and fashion too." Oh, and let's not forget that it moves well.

Other nominations of note for AutoblogGreen readers include the Greenbird vehicle, Better Place's charging stations and Daimler's Car2Go smart fortwo sharing service. See the full list of Transport nominees after the jump.
