The 2011 Tokyo Motor Show brought us some interesting and imaginative eco-friendly concept cars. With efficiency in mind, these companies pushed their creativity to the limit. Here are some of the most eccentric designs of 2011. <\/p>\n

Volkswagen <\/strong><\/p>\n

Volkswagen <\/strong><\/p>\n

For those of us who like to rock and roll, Volkswagen unveiled their newest Beetle<\/a>. They have made friends with Fender to bring an audio system to this car that is ready for the main stage. The system includes a 400W 10-channel amplifier, a subwoofer, and two sets of tweeters, one set in the front and one in the back.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Honda <\/strong><\/p>\n

This<\/a> eco-friendly design is Honda\u2019s \u201cmicro commuter\u201d car. This tiny electric car is only 98.4 inches long, 49.2 wide, and 56.3 tall and looks like something from a video game. To add to its arcade feel, it\u2019s controlled with two joysticks. While its top speed is just 37 mph and can only carry three people its tiny size is great for the city commuter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daihatsu<\/strong><\/p>\n

While this design from Daihatsu looks like a bus, it is not; it\u2019s the FC Sho Case<\/a>. FC standing for fuel cell. Daihatsu\u2019s progressive design contains no rare earth metals, which makes it less expensive to make then other fuel cells. The LCD screen on the outside plays relaxing wave patterns, but when getting into the vehicle passengers must step over these to get in which makes it difficult for elderly people or people with injuries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toyota and Yamaha<\/strong><\/p>\n

We see more and more scooters on the road these days as people search for easy and fuel-efficient methods for getting around town. Toyota and Yamaha partnered up to take this a step further with an electric tricycle called the EC-Miu<\/a>. It has Wi-Fi capabilities and can be recharged at charging stations used by other electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

The concepts showcased at the Tokyo Motor Show this year were green focused and highly imaginative. It\u2019s hard to predict what they will think of next, but I for one am looking forward to next year.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
