Eco Factor: Zero-emission electric vehicle powered by thermoelectric generators.
The Audi Cross-Tareq is a zero-emission concept vehicle that is designed to run clean on an all-electric engine. Sponsored by Studio Audi in Ingolstadt, the vehicle is designed specifically for North African terrain for movement around the Sahara Desert of the Atlas Mountains.
The vehicle’s lightweight construction and aerodynamic design maximizes fuel efficiency. Unlike some sustainable concept vehicles that rely on photovoltaic panels to create electricity directly from sunlight, the Cross-Tareq features thermoelectric devices, which trap solar heat and then convert it into electricity to power onboard batteries.
