For the current year, the task was to create a vehicle that should be eco friendly and come with an interesting design. Here's how Honda introduced these assets into a vehicle.
The Japanese company has created the Air concept, an alternative transportation solutions for those with a hyperactive lifestyle. The company's designers took inspiration from roller coasters and skydiving wind suits.
As for the propulsion, the vehicle is powered by a compressed air and pneumatic regulator system. The vehicle extends its range by using turbo vacuums and external air-flow to increase the tank pressure, allowing the driver to cruise for 100 miles per "charge".
The body of the concept is made from vegetable-based polymer panels, while the chassis is also used as a master tank and doubles all components, such as the seats, in order to keep the weight as low as possible.
Other "diet" measures include the use of glass reinforced seating panels, a hubless wheel and drive system, urethane tire composition and skeletal sub-frame components. We have to mention that the vehicle tips the scales at under 800 lbs (363 kg).
"At just under 800 lbs, the powerful anthem of pneumatic propulsion and a character unlike any zero-emission vehicle exemplifies Honda’s concept of fun to drive. The pow[air] of dreams," stated the press release, highlighting the vehicle's dynamic personality that is aimed at offering a thrilling experience to the user.
