And you thought assembling that IKEA bookshelf was stressful鈥�

A Swedish technology company has announced that British drivers will be among the first to drive its new flat pack car.

The CEO and Founder of Luvly, based in Stockholm, says the car is built to be affordable, environmentally-friendly, and suitable for city driving.

鈥淭he whole technological platform makes it possible for us to ship the components parts in containers, in a cost and space efficient way,鈥� H氓kan Lutz told The Telegraph. 鈥淭he cars are simple and light and can easily be put together.鈥�

The 鈥淟uvly-O鈥� is expected to cost around 拢8,700 and could be available for sale in the UK by the end of this year. Unlike most other electric cars, which need to be charged at a docking station, the Luvly-O runs on two removable batteries, which can be charged wherever you want.

It鈥檚 also a lot lighter than other electric cars, weighing less than 400 kg. It has a top speed of just 55mph and a 62 mile range, which Lutz says makes it perfect for Londoners: 鈥渋ts makers say it鈥檚 perfect for city driving.聽

鈥淚 think these would suit the UK absolutely perfectly, the bigger the city, the more sense one of these cars makes,鈥� he insisted.

The Luvly-O is also built to be exceptionally energy-efficient (four times more than regular electric cars, according to its designers), and as environmentally-friendly as possible; according to the car鈥檚 entire body 鈥渋s made from a single lightweight material that needs no surface treatment and goes straight to recycling.鈥�

Luvly says the car is also exceptionally safe, sharing many features with Formula One cars; a surprising comparison given its slow speeds and far more lowkey design. For example, this tiny vehicle sports energy absorbers around its chassis to ensure maximum safety.聽

It also comes with some useful features, including an app for your phone 鈥� although their website isn鈥檛 clear what that will include other than enabling you to 鈥減lay your favourite tunes鈥� directly from your phone.

But before you get your toolboxes out, this 鈥渇lat pack鈥� car is not quite do-it-yourself.

According to Lutz, the car is actually meant to be assembled in 鈥渕icro factories,鈥� which will mean they can be assembled and shipped much more quickly and efficiently to their end-customers.

鈥淚f it were legally and technologically possible to assemble in your house, we would think that would be a good thing, but sadly on both of those counts, it is not.鈥�

Let鈥檚 be honest though, that鈥檚 probably for the best鈥�
