Antro Solo – 4Wheeler of the Future!


Our fossil fuel resources are depleting gradually and mankind is in search of some alternate fuel source that can still make this world move. Researchers are busy bringing out different concept cars that run on many different types of fuels. Even many major auto manufacturers are in search of that alternative fuel source. BMW has come up with a few BMW models that can run on hydrogen and electricity!

Recently, a car named Antro Solo was unveiled to the world at the Budapest transport museum in Hungary. According to the engineers, this car has a combination of both internal combustion engine and electric engine! Sounds cool, right? It also comes with many solar batteries that are placed on the roof of the car to provide power. And as this is not enough, it is also equipped with two pair of pedals in front of passenger seats to help you out when you run out of fuel Unbelievable? Believe it!

With body made out of carbon fiber, the car weighs only 272kgs and is expected to be priced around 18,000 USD. Gotta wait and see how it fares? Will it really go into production or will it face the axe?
