Toyota wants to build a car from seaweed |
|
With the entire world looking for green alternatives, Toyota is
in talks regarding an ultra lightweight, incredibly efficient plug-in
hybrid with a body made of seaweed. The vehicle could potentially be
seen in showrooms in 15 years, but it’s definitely not coming any time
soon.
The concept builds on the 1/X plug-in hybrid concept that weighs in at
926 pounds. With bioplastics gaining popularity, instead of the vehicle
having a carbon fiber body, it would instead be composed of plastic
made from seaweed. Toyota believes this is a practice that will begin
to catch on with other manufacturers.
