Car designer Zdenko Vukoja has developed a concept car for Peugeot called “The 3GEO.” The car carries a battery pack which works simultaneously with a conventional natural gas or biodiesel engine. To achieve maximum fuel efficiency the car has been made from lightweight but sturdy materials like carbon fiber and fiber glass.

To ensure the safety of the passengers the car carries a double floor chassis with aluminum fork with is connected to the front and rear suspensions of the vehicle. The simple and aerodynamic body ensures further fuel savings while making sure that the manufacturing process of the car doesn’t prove to be a burden for the company.

The Dark Side:

The designer aims to develop the car with carbon fiber, which would increase the cost of this three-wheeled car.
