There are many heroes in the world we know that are never given a chance to shine; an unsung hero. Joseph Emerald Steinfield was one of those people. He believed in humanity and their advancement in automotive technology, but one thing that bothered him was their accessibility to people with less fortune, thus Essential Motors was born.
Working on the principle of “For the people”, Joseph and his newly-found team worked hard to design a series of vehicles, whose functionality were reduced to bare minimum, allowing poorer people to gain access to the ever-growing mean of transport. As time passes, many financial challenges would make cutting the cost harder, but attempts were still made, and Essential Motors would remain as one of the few companies to offer less expensive options without compromises regarding safeties and alike.
