Leaf is the latest concept car designed by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) that features an odd leaf as its roof, giving an impression of being eco-friendly. This innovative roof is crafted from foliage and able to produce oxygen just like a real leaf. Moreover, the leafy roof features a solar panel to generate and store electricity, and more surprisingly, it directs the car to move into a position where it can get the most suitable sunlight coverage. The wheels also contain spinning wheels that can generate electricity too when the car moves forward. This energy-efficient vehicle not only will reduce the fuel cost of operating a car, but also will help developing an emission free environment.

EN-V, short for Electric Networked-Vehicle, is a two-seat, local emission-free vehicle propelled by electric motors in each of its two driving-mode wheels.

The vehicle’s drivetrain platform is an evolution of the platform of the Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility (P.U.M.A.) prototype developed by Segway. Segway has worked with GM to develop and deliver multiple copies of the drivetrain platform that connect to and power various EN-Vs. continue reading…
