It will be a car builder with no engine-building facility of its own that brings out a proper non-IC (internal combustion) engined vehicle, batteries are a waste of time so you need an on-board generator of either fuel or leccy

the problem is that smaller car builders dont have the funds for research and development like (say) Ford or GM

so dont hold your breath

won't the read loading aspect curb the sales somewhat? lots of LAs insist on side loaders, do they not?

Love my 03 Metro Auto but will need something new within the next 3 years, this option may come to late for me, liked the look of the 4th and 5th picture :D

I thought Metrocab had adapted the Lexus technology and had a prototype, what is and what has happened to the prototype, any real chance of a comeback :?:
