I've been struggling with an English translation of Kamm's research and what I can say is, 'don't do 'rounded' truncations.Make the cut as if you'd do it with a bread knife.Straight chop.

There's your opportunity for taillights and license plate. They both have a wide track to compensate for zero track in the rear.

It's advantage would be the mathematically defined shape lends itself to formless construction. Since it is malleable it could provide a narrow body for a two-wheeler as well.
