LATEST ADVANCEMENTS COMNG DOWN THE LINE

Now people will not just buy a car because they are fuel efficient but they are concerned about several

other issues as well

IS THE CAR QUICK AND EASY TO REFUEL?

CAN IT TRAVEL A GOOD DISTANCE BEFORE REFUELING?

IS IT AS FAST AS THE OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD?

HOW MUCH POLLUTION DOES IT PRODUCE?

IS IT COMFORTABLE AND CONVENIENT?

IS IT SAFE?

WHAT ABOUT ITS “COST”?

“Design something that really solves this problem”

HIGH STRENGTH AND LOW WEIGHT

ADVANCED FUEL AND PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY

ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES

COST EFFECTIVE

AUTONOMOUS

TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED FEATURES

LUXURIOUS

ECO FRIENDLY

A hybrid vehicle is one that combines asmaller-than-normal internal combustiongasoline engine with the electric motor of anelectric-powered vehicle.

They are generally designed to be moreaerodynamic than most cars, allowing themto “slice” through the air instead of pushing itout of the way.

The Moovie, an electric poweredcar, designed by André Costa,doesn't look like an ordinary car. Itsround shape and large side slidingdoors resemble the futuristic carswe sometimes see in the movies. Itseats two people, drives on bigwheels and has hollow rims.

The large wheels save energybecause they don't require as muchwork to turn as small wheelsrequire. Also, the rear-view mirrorsneatly fold up away from thesliding doors.

This golf cart like car ispowered 100% byelectricity. All it needs toget it going is anelectrical socket to pluginto and get it charged.The car can reach speedsup to 40miles an hour.

If you like trucks more,you're in luck. Zap alsohas the Xebra PK truck.Turn it into a flat bed orkeep it as is.

3 Fuel Options

The “mini cat” which uses compressed air,is a simple and light urban car with atubular chassis, a body of fiberglass whichis glued and not welded.

This car costs about Rs.3,65,000 and will beready to hit the roads by August 2012, asscheduled byTata motors.

This Hummer is not a "gashog" like the other ones.Instead, it isenvironmentally friendly.

How? The Hummer O2 isbuilt to emit O2 instead ofCO2 by using algae toconvert CO2 into pureoxygen (in other words,cleaner air).

In addition, the HummerO2is made of recycled parts.

Hydrogen is one such fuel that has beenproposed for the purpose which was suitable forspark ignition engines .

Hydrogen combines the properties of highercalorific value ,higher velocity of flamepropagation ,non toxicity as well as lowestpossible emission levels that do not affect thebalance of the water of the hydrosphere.

More over the by product of combustion aredevoid of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxidewhich is the major advantage of vehiclespowered by fuel cell vehicles.

Embrio Is a high tech unicycle or asleek motorcycle with retractabletiny front wheels.

Powered by hydrogen fuel cellsand made of recycled aluminumand polyethylene parts, the one-wheel motorcycle rides on onewheel once speeds reach 20km anhour. At rest or in case of trouble,the tiny front wheels drop backdown.

How does the Bombardier Embriostay balanced on one wheel?

It stays balanced with somethingcalled gyroscope. It also comeswith sensors, a high-performancebraking system, activesuspension, and night vision. Bestof all, making a turn requiresshifting body weight instead ofsteering.

Instead of steel-framedmulti-ton vehicles poweredby internal combustionengines, it is possible to seecars made of carbon-composite materials that arelighter and stronger thansteel, with sleekaerodynamic shapes andincredibly efficient engines.

In fact, some of these carsare so efficient that youcould plug them in andreturn power to the grid for adiscount on your electric bill.

It's called the Recy, is aMercedes Benz and wasdesigned to be anenvironmental conscious car.It truly is.

. How? Recy is powered by afour-cylinder Blu-Tec bio-diesel motor and is made ofrecycled parts: wood, alloys,glass and rubber

after using it for five years,instead of adding it to thefilled junkyards we haveeverywhere, Recy can betaken to a recycling centerand be recycled again.

German car startup company, Loremo, whichstands for low resistance mobile, will soon put itsfirst models on sale in Europe that weigh around1,200 pounds (544 kilograms)

Ultra light future cars will be made of lightweightproducts including plastics, aluminum and metalcomposites and other hybrid materials. Byadjusting the weight of the car parts, companiesdon't have to sacrifice size and can also usesmaller engines.

When a City Car isn't in use, it would collapseinto a smaller size and stack against other CityCars, much like a row of shopping carts.

In this manner, eight vehicles could fill the areaof a parking space traditionally used for onestandard-sized, conventional automobile.

To use this stackable car, all you'll need to do isswipe your credit card at the nearest City Carrack.

The PAD is a high-tech motor home made for living in full-time, not just for weekend trips. It's packed with the latestcommunications equipment and amenities, which is why GMCcalls it a LivingActivityVehicle, or LAV.

The PAD includes DirecTV, On Star and XM Satellite Wi-Fi.That means users would have constant access to more than ahundred TV channels, high-speed wireless Internet, and avariety of On Star services, including vehicle diagnostics,emergency assistance, and traffic, travel and weatherinformation.

The interior walls of the PAD are covered with giant LCDscreens. A fully computerized resource management systemallows the PAD to wring every last drop out of fuel and potablewater supplies, with the projected time between refills lastingweeks or months. To supplement energy demands, six squaremeters of photovoltaic cells cover the top of the PAD, chargingon-board batteries with energy collected from the sun.

Futuristic car is totally adaptable. With a pressof a button, a driver will be able to broadcastany picture or message anywhere on a car’ssurface beside a chosen picture that suitsdriver’smood or outfit.

Car can also broadcast marketing messages.Changing a song, or a radio station, ornavigation to a wanted destination will neverbe easier with automatic (commanded byvoice) battler.

Alleviation of parking scarcity as cars could drop offpassengers, park far away where space is notscarce, and return as needed to pick up passengers.

Improved productivity as business people can workas they are being transported to and frommeetings, as opposed to having to drive thevehicle.

A reduction of collisions will result in reduced painand suffering, as well as reducing the costs of careand ease the strains on the health service providers.Increased roadway capacity due to reduced need ofsafety gap and the ability to better manage trafficflow.

Relief of vehicle occupants from driving andnavigation chores.

ULTra (Urban LightTransport), a mass-transitsystem will be usingdriverless automatic taxito send up to 4 passengersrunning on tracks whichare accessible through aseries of stations.

It is powered by a batterypack providing an average2KW of motive power. Itwill go into operationwithin a year in the city ofCardiff, United Kingdom.

Probably time to moveout of your house if youown this cool bus.

The interiors are evennicer than someapartments what’sgreat is that you caneven store your ownpersonal car in it.
