Eco Factor: Zero-emission concept car powered by air.
General Motors advanced design California has come up with a concept zero-emission vehicle as part of this year’s LA Auto Show Design Challenge. Dubbed Aera, the concept vehicle weighs exactly 1000 pounds and needs refueling every 1000 miles. With an ability to seat four, the vehicle uses a body structure made from mono-formed 3D lattice that is extremely sturdy.
The Aera has been designed to run on a clean, zero-emission engine that uses compressed air for propulsion. The engine sources air at 10,000psi from a composite air storage tank. The Aera is driven using a wireless system that cuts out heavy electrical components.
