The concept of future buses, model and shape seems to be splendid, but only the beautiful designs, comfortable interior and decorative shapes are enough to make it futuristic or will it be environmental friendly. Are noise and Air pollution and fuel consumption also be the factors which will be play down. New corridor will be open for the futuristic bus transportation with healthy and smooth travel. Take a look of some cool snaps of future buses and inform us about your opinion.
How do you allay your parking woes? You could walk or bike to your destination but sometimes, owning acar is just plain necessary. But the lack of parking space can be a huge hassle especially when you need to make multiple stops. Romano Artioli, ex-owner of the Lotus and Bugatti brands, has developed a tiny single-seater eco-friendly car that’s small enough to fit into an office elevator. Measuring just 1 meter in width and 1.5 meters in height, the Volpe weighs only 350 kg and can squeeze itself into the smallest of spaces.
So tiny is the Volpe that it can zip about your workplace and even fit in your office to be charged from your desk. The small car is meant for city commuters and though it doesn’t touch high speeds – just 30 mph max – it’s perfect for congested areas. There’s also not a lot of space for baggage but unless you plan to cram in plenty of goods, the Volpe makes the ideal small city car.
Volpe, world's smallest electric car fits in an elevator and can be parked and charged at your work desk.
Artioli worked with coachbuilder Zagato which is responsible for styling limited edition models of Aston Martins. The idea was to design a car that could help ease traffic congestion which is becoming a daily nightmare for commuters.
To further limit its size, Volpe sports scissor doors and a miniature motor that’s street legal as a quadricycle. This means that anyone who’s as young as 16 and has a motorcycle license can drive it. The eco friendly car will sell for about 5,600 pounds and is set to hit European markets by 2013.
The unique car has generated quite a buzz in online forums with many praising it for its aesthetics and functionality. As small as it is, however, it still doesn’t beat the record of the Peel P50 microcar which measures just 54 inches in length and 41 inches in width.
When in Bolivia, this is one place you should avoid. This road, called Camino de las Yungas (alternatively known as Death Road), claims 200 – 300 human lives every year. Yet, the road is still in use.
Once can see many memorial crosses placed along the road.
And recently fallen trucks.
Inter-American Development Bank considers this road to be the most dangerous in the world.
The road is 69 kilometres (43 miles) long and connects the Amazon rainforest with the capital city of Bolivia, La Paz. It was built by prisoners in the 1930s.
It has has two rotors turning in opposite directions to maintain stability, and four engines that enables a 30-minute flight with a top speed of about 56 miles (100 km) per hour.Controlling the GEN H-4 is not difficult at all. For going forward, you pull the control bar toward you; to go to the right, you the control to the left and vice versa. If you push the throttle lever, it goes up, you let go of it and the helicopter goes down.
Luigi Colani has designed many amazing things. Here you can see some of the trucks he has come up with and how interesting they look. These trucks are actually in use today and were actually originally designed in the 1980’s. Changes have been made to them through the years to what you see today.
Well you can joke about it and say ‘changing lanes like a boss’ but seriously, the driver and the likely passengers of this car are really lucky to escape this potentially fatal incident unscathed, physically at least. And, well done the person who had filmed it.
Who said East Europeans aren’t creative people? You’ve got to hand it to them, they even painted the plastic bottles in pink to make it look more realistic.
Real cars of the future are not vehicles that will roll on four wheels. The vehicle, which runs on unleaded gasoline, can travel up to 450 miles and can fly at 115 mph. It’s also designed to fit into a typical household garage. How far we are from the mass production of these cars? Will future really be as in SF films – skyscrapers to unknown heights, and between them flying traffic takes place ? You’ll see several models of possible future vehicles. Enjoy!
