No doubt, electric cars / motos provide a clean, green and eco friendly mode of transportation. No doubt however, that their operating range still remains at low – compared to conventional vehicles – levels, therefore providing a major obstacle to their further penetration in the market.
Trying to deal with this matter, auto designers have been trying to come up with new ideas and interested concepts like the Zero Moto, proposed by the designer Wes Rhoad.
The Zero Moto is inspired by Art Deco Steam Locomotives and features an all-wheel steering system. At slow speeds, the front and rear wheels turn opposite to each other to decrease turning radius. At highway speeds, the opposite happens as front and rear wheels turn in the same direction for quick lane changes.
The motorcycle is powered by electric motors that are positioned in the front and rear wheel hub assemblies with real-time torque control monitored by the on-board CPU.

Fuel cell cars have just begun to show up shyly, and the competition starts to intensify in this market segment. Toyota, who has already announced a $50,000 price tag on their first hydrogen fuel cell car, is being “beaten” by Hyundai, who announced that their first fuel cell vehicle will be available three years earlier than Toyota and of course the other automakers. Pretty optimistic someone could say.
Hyundai announced that it plans to have ready for sale 10,000 units by 2015, when all the others will only have made their first deliveries of fuel cell cars. 1,000 units are planned to be shipped in 2013 and will mainly go to fleets and organizational buyers. 500 fuel cell vehicles will be available for sale during 2012.

Το κλασικό VW Beetle είναι έτοιμο να πάρει το πρασινο φως για την διάθεση του και σε υβριδικη έκδοση. Η Volkswagen αναμένεται να παρουσιάσει την υβριδικη έκδοση του Bug στο Detroit Auto Show του επόμενου έτους. Η μπαταρία λιθίου των 20 kilowatt, θα δίνει την δυνατότητα στο Bug να διανύει περίπου 45 μίλια ανά – και αυτό είναι μόνο ένα μέρος του νέου ριζοσπαστικού σχεδιασμού. Δείτε όλες τις εξελίξεις για την υβριδική αυτοκίνηση εδώ.
