RCA Concept Car



You can thank Joonas Vartola and Paul Hause for these beautes, and Inhabitat for the article. In it they say "The car of the future is a small fuel-efficient vehicle. It will be light, weighing no more than 50% of what the average vehicle currently weighs. Though hybrids are a short term solution, trends indicate that such vehicle will be electric, as the technology has finally achieved the power and efficiency to make this a workable solution. And very likely, such vehicle will be powered by either solar panels on your roof, or solar panels on the vehicle itself. This does not mean that there will not be other types of vehicles, but instead that rather of looking at fossil fuels as the answer to everything, vehicles will become much more specialized. Small electric powered vehicles will be the main form of transportation for the average city dweller. More powerful hybrid or hydrogen fuel cell trucks, or possibly even SUVs, will be used to carry larger loads across town, and heavy duty rigs and construction equipment will probably be using biofuels or even some form of flex fuels (mixture of fossil fuels and ethanol) to drive large loads across long distances."
