The speed of vegetation moving North as a result of global warming, has been calculated to 1,67 meter a day. In two weeks, the plants in your backyard have arrived in your frontyard. René van Corven’s Victor Mobile has been travelling to the North Pole with the same speed since 2003. The cargo of the wagon is as delicate as the 7 wheel drive cart is sturdy.
Wat car can run 1467 kilometers on 1 liter of gasoline? Eco-Runner II can. Very handy if you wish to drive a motorised banana. But still. It makes me feel that technology for private cars is stuck in the stone age. My car runs 12 kilometers on 1 liter. My 160 kilo motorbike can only make it 18 to 1. Eco-Runner proves we should do better than that.
It looks like a 6 wheel 300% stretched Ferrari. But Superbus is public transport at 250 km/hr. The man behind the wheel is our first astronaut Wubbo Ockels. “Superbus can pick you up at any time, so no wait.

The black carbon fibre racer is built for say Dubai, where carbon is fluent in fuel and where the überrich people of our planet are. “Like in the development of planes and cars, we believe innovative technique starts at the top of the market”, says Nils Beers of Netherlands-based Czeers.
