BRAVO - Young Greek From Kalamata Wins FIAT New Car Design

Thanos Pappas is obviously second in line

Thanos Pappas, a 23-year-old man from Kalamata, Greece, recently participated in FIAT’s "Design the future of accessibility" contest and guess what, he won! Thanos's design team "Exarsis" apparently undertakes vehicle design projects in Greece. In 2012, this young man from the southern Peloponnese did an internship through the Department of Product and Systems Design at the University of the Aegean, where he worked from the island of Syros with Korres Engineering for Project D3, a city car designed for people who use wheelchairs.

Thanos is also taking part in the Hellenic Entrepreneurship Award with a hybrid (or purely electric) small vehicle which is expected to soon be manufactured in Greece and is accessible to people with disabilities.

Major thumbs up to Thanos Pappas for making Hellenes proud everywhere!
