CNN has a pretty cool feature on their website about the big automakers and their plans for making so-called “green” cars. Fuel economy and environmental-friendliness are becoming increasingly important to consumers, and all of the major car companies are taking notice. Some of these are closer to being in full production than others, while some are just concept cars.
The one pictured is the Flexstream, which stores and carries two Segway scooters that are charged when “docked.” From the article:
“The diesel engine provides an additional charge only if needed and is never used to drive the car. On a full charge, the Flextreme can drive about 34 miles before the diesel engine starts.Total range on one 7-gallon tank of fuel is 444 miles”
You can see a ton of photos of the Flexstream here at the Autoblog.
