The prototype Clever (Compact Low Emission Vehicle for Urban Transport) car is one metre wide and less polluting than normal vehicles. *** "The only solutions at the moment are motorbikes or cars" said Ben Drew, a research officer at the University of Bath, one of the institutions involved in the project. "The idea is to try to marry the small size and efficiency of a motorcycle with the comfort and safety of a standard car," he said. *** more: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4930794.stm |
