Naming Concept

Rodney was borrowed from two sources.

The middle name of a prominent human-rights-lawyer-cum-prime-minister (at the start of 2025) and the name of a character in the popular UK television series “Only Fools and Horses”.

The “evska” was reference to the socialist/communist past and the mass building programmes of the former USSR.

This was an evolution of the British satirical humour that had seen the limited publication of a three wheeled automobile concept in 2024 – the C5+ Rodneyrodder three wheeler – adept at negotiating the numerous potholes that plagued the roads on the small island.
