Volvo Air Motion - I Believe I can fly...
by AllAutoExperts | 1 November, 2015
You could even fly on this car if you used it on a daily basis. Why do you ask? Because it is much lighter than any other car in the world!
The car has details that are much lighter and even fewer than its competitors, the total weight being as littles 454 kg!
Much of the weight saving would come from using compressed air motors rather than a heavy internal combustion engine along with a carbon-fiber body. The chassis, interior, and suspension design have also been simplified to further keep the vehicle light.
Volvo designers say that the need for cooling systems is removed because these air motors would cool down under load rather than heating up.
The intriguing refueling concept is also blue-sky - literally. "Air Replenishment Sites" powered by floating air turbines floating would be used to turn wind power into electricity to provide the compression.
