2. Now people will not just buy a car because they are
fuel efficient but they are concerned about several
other issues as well
IS THECAR QUICKANDEASYTO REFUEL?

7. A hybrid vehicle is one that combines a
smaller-than-normal internal combustion
gasoline engine with the electric motor of an
electric-powered vehicle.
They are generally designed to be more
aerodynamic than most cars, allowing them
to “slice” through the air instead of pushing it
out of the way.
8.
9. The Moovie, an electric powered
car, designed by André Costa,
doesn't look like an ordinary car. Its
round shape and large side sliding
doors resemble the futuristic cars
we sometimes see in the movies. It
seats two people, drives on big
wheels and has hollow rims.
The large wheels save energy
because they don't require as much
work to turn as small wheels
require. Also, the rear-view mirrors
neatly fold up away from the
sliding doors.
10. This golf cart like car is
powered 100% by
electricity. All it needs to
get it going is an
electrical socket to plug
into and get it charged.
The car can reach speeds
up to 40 miles an hour.
If you like trucks more,
you're in luck. Zap also
has the Xebra PK truck.
Turn it into a flat bed or
keep it as is.

12. The “mini cat” which uses compressed air,
is a simple and light urban car with a
tubular chassis, a body of fiberglass which
is glued and not welded.
This car costs about Rs.3,65,000 and will be
ready to hit the roads by August 2012, as
scheduled byTata motors.
13.
14. This Hummer is not a "gas
hog" like the other ones.
Instead, it is
environmentally friendly.
How? The Hummer O2 is
built to emit O2 instead of
CO2 by using algae to
convert CO2 into pure
oxygen (in other words,
cleaner air).
In addition, the Hummer O2
is made of recycled parts.
15. Hydrogen is one such fuel that has been
proposed for the purpose which was suitable for
spark ignition engines .
Hydrogen combines the properties of higher
calorific value ,higher velocity of flame
propagation ,non toxicity as well as lowest
possible emission levels that do not affect the
balance of the water of the hydrosphere.
More over the by product of combustion are
devoid of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
which is the major advantage of vehicles
powered by fuel cell vehicles.
16.
17. Embrio Is a high tech unicycle or a
sleek motorcycle with retractable
tiny front wheels.
Powered by hydrogen fuel cells
and made of recycled aluminum
and polyethylene parts, the one-
wheel motorcycle rides on one
wheel once speeds reach 20km an
hour. At rest or in case of trouble,
the tiny front wheels drop back
down.
How does the Bombardier Embrio
stay balanced on one wheel?
It stays balanced with something
called gyroscope. It also comes
with sensors, a high-performance
braking system, active
suspension, and night vision. Best
of all, making a turn requires
shifting body weight instead of
steering.
18. Instead of steel-framed
multi-ton vehicles powered
by internal combustion
engines, it is possible to see
cars made of carbon-
composite materials that are
lighter and stronger than
steel, with sleek
aerodynamic shapes and
incredibly efficient engines.
In fact, some of these cars
are so efficient that you
could plug them in and
return power to the grid for a
discount on your electric bill.
19. It's called the Recy, is a
Mercedes Benz and was
designed to be an
environmental conscious car.
It truly is.
. How? Recy is powered by a
four-cylinder Blu-Tec bio-
diesel motor and is made of
recycled parts: wood, alloys,
glass and rubber
after using it for five years,
instead of adding it to the
filled junkyards we have
everywhere, Recy can be
taken to a recycling center
and be recycled again.
20. German car startup company, Loremo, which
stands for low resistance mobile, will soon put its
first models on sale in Europe that weigh around
1,200 pounds (544 kilograms)
Ultra light future cars will be made of lightweight
products including plastics, aluminum and metal
composites and other hybrid materials. By
adjusting the weight of the car parts, companies
don't have to sacrifice size and can also use
smaller engines.
21. When a City Car isn't in use, it would collapse
into a smaller size and stack against other City
Cars, much like a row of shopping carts.
In this manner, eight vehicles could fill the area
of a parking space traditionally used for one
standard-sized, conventional automobile.
To use this stackable car, all you'll need to do is
swipe your credit card at the nearest City Car
rack.
22. The PAD is a high-tech motor home made for living in full-
time, not just for weekend trips. It's packed with the latest
communications equipment and amenities, which is why GMC
calls it a Living ActivityVehicle, or LAV.
The PAD includes DirecTV, On Star and XM Satellite Wi-Fi.
That means users would have constant access to more than a
hundred TV channels, high-speed wireless Internet, and a
variety of On Star services, including vehicle diagnostics,
emergency assistance, and traffic, travel and weather
information.
The interior walls of the PAD are covered with giant LCD
screens. A fully computerized resource management system
allows the PAD to wring every last drop out of fuel and potable
water supplies, with the projected time between refills lasting
weeks or months. To supplement energy demands, six square
meters of photovoltaic cells cover the top of the PAD, charging
on-board batteries with energy collected from the sun.

25. Futuristic car is totally adaptable. With a press
of a button, a driver will be able to broadcast
any picture or message anywhere on a car’s
surface beside a chosen picture that suits
driver’s mood or outfit.
Car can also broadcast marketing messages.
Changing a song, or a radio station, or
navigation to a wanted destination will never
be easier with automatic (commanded by
voice) battler.

32. Alleviation of parking scarcity as cars could drop off
passengers, park far away where space is not
scarce, and return as needed to pick up passengers.
Improved productivity as business people can work
as they are being transported to and from
meetings, as opposed to having to drive the
vehicle.
A reduction of collisions will result in reduced pain
and suffering, as well as reducing the costs of care
and ease the strains on the health service providers.
Increased roadway capacity due to reduced need of
safety gap and the ability to better manage traffic
flow.
Relief of vehicle occupants from driving and
navigation chores.
33. ULTra (Urban Light
Transport), a mass-transit
system will be using
driverless automatic taxi
to send up to 4 passengers
running on tracks which
are accessible through a
series of stations.
It is powered by a battery
pack providing an average
2KW of motive power. It
will go into operation
within a year in the city of
Cardiff, United Kingdom.
34. Probably time to move
out of your house if you
own this cool bus.
The interiors are even
nicer than some
apartments what’s
great is that you can
even store your own
personal car in it.
