Whereas the LED video screens and lighting will reduce the energy consumption, the long life, low volatile organic content paints will cover the vessel’s exterior. And, all these features will together help minimize the impact on environment with the help of a technology which is scalable to hybrid ferries, hybrid yachts and even hybrid tug boats.

Well, it could travel on road at a comparatively show speed of 6mph and then can swiftly take to the water.

Work on this four wheeled amphibious machine is still in progress and John hopes that its future models can revolutionize the way we commute. Theoretically go anywhere vehicle is as good as a normal car and can be used for shopping or to go to office. John is in touch with Honda to mass produce the amphibious vehicle and according to him ‘it’s about time the car and marine industries combined’.

Eco Friendly BMW Subway Concept

Eco Friendly BMW Subway Concept - Concerning about a green technology that able to recycle so BMW designed an Eco Friendly Subway Concept, Poland unveils BMW-Designed Subway Cars which are 98% recyclable. The concept will not only bring sustainable engineering to the Warsaw’s metro system but will also be a new paradigm in eco-travel. Dubbed the Siemens Inspiro transit concept, the design comes from Siemens and BMW Group DesignworksUSA. The transit system boasts many-sensitive designs and will go online in the Metro Warszawskie in 2012.

The transit system features spacious interiors, wide entrances for better passenger flow, large electronic displays for system maps and a lighting system placed at the smoothing intervals. And in order to increase the interior space as much as possible, the electronic and mechanics cabinets have been removed from the actual cabin walls. The handholds in the transit system are lit from the above and are shaped like tree branches which denote subway cars’ green ambitions.

The subway’s green credentials come in the form of carriage’s aluminum, weight optimized chassis which is considerably lighter than the average traincar. Lighter aluminum chassis has duel benefits – it reduces the energy consumption on one hand and is 98% recyclable on the other.

Here's the Concept of Eco friendly BMW Subway Cars.
