2006 Hummer 02 Concept

Environment sustainability is a challenge for all auto makers and with pollution levels increasing and governments getting tougher in their stance to have less polluting vehicles, a vehicle that satisfies all is a major headache now.

The 2006 Design Challenge's theme is "Environmental Sustainability" and the guidelines mandatory that vehicles entering the contest should have 100 per cent recyclable components and should have maximum life span of 60 months.

The GM's designer team set out to make a "Hummer O2 Concept". The concept featured a phototropic body shell which will use Algae in body panels to transform CO2 to oxygen.

The vehicle will be powered by Hydrogen fuel cells located in a central position and will be propelled by hydraulic motors attached to each wheel.

Just taking it a notch higher in terms of recyclable materials they have put in 100 -per cent post-consumer materials in the final design.
