More often than not, the vehicles that we drive aren’t very environmentally friendly, but a concept vehicle, YeZ, designed by the joint venture of SAIC and GM looks rather promising, as it’ll feature solar panels on its roof, and wind turbines on the wheels. Aside from being solar powered, the roof will be able to capture carbon dioxide from the ambient air, and release fresh oxygen back into the air. The energy gathered by the solar panels and wind turbine will be stored in a battery, which will be used to power the vehicle. The leafy roof design certainly looks interesting, though it probably wouldn’t make you look all that cool, would it?
