Eco-Luxury Sedan

Zero emission concept electric vehicle harnesses solar power to extend its range.

While the world is looking forward for cars that are inexpensive and run on clean fuels, industrial designer Ankit Prashar has something in store for the upmarket custromers as well. A graduate of Coventry University’s Transportation Design course, Ankit has come up with a concept car aimed for the Citroen brand, which will definitely lure people with deep pockets.

The Citroen Eco-Luxury Sedan utilizes lightweight materials to better the vehicle’s overall efficiency. The propulsion system of the car includes a hydrogen fuel cell element, which charges the car’s onboard battery pack. The zero-emission vehicle also makes use of photovoltaic panels integrated into the bodywork to charge the batteries on the move.


The interior of the Eco-Luxury Sedan boasts a 1+2 seating layout, since most luxury cars are chauffeur driven and carry a maximum of 2 passengers on the rear seat.

Car of the future

Concept vehicle for the year 2020 designed to run on electromagnetic wheels.

Working to design cars for the future, Indian auto designer Nanish K R has come up with a car design aimed to revolutionize transport in the year 2020. The simple, yet stylish car is powered by four independent electromagnetic wheels, which allows the car to do without a conventional power train.

The wheels of this zero-emission car are made up of two sliding rings, one of which is the electromagnet and the other is a permanent one. The electromagnet gets powered by the lithium-ion batteries installed on the vehicle’s chassis and gets the same polarity as the permanent magnet. This creates a repulsive force between the rings which is then converted into motion.

While braking, the opposite poles of the magnets face each other and the attractive force generated as a result is used to stop the vehicle. The body panels of the car are made from polycarbonate to keep the vehicle’s weight to a minimum. The car also carries rearview mirrors, LED lamps and a touchscreen controlled on the dashboard.
