PEV- POSITIVE EMISSIONS VEHICLE

Exterior TiOx gills break down atmospheric ozone into oxygen, therefore cleaning surrounding air

Shell made from composites derived from CO2 sequestered from the atmosphere

Hub-mounted electric motors powered by Lithium ion batteries, Ultracapacitors quick-charged at each bus stop, and small IC generator for long-distance/ emergency jaunts

Roof-mounted solar cells provide energy for the lighting and climate control systems


ECO-FRIENDLY CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM

Inspired by the Kansai Airport HVAC system, Tensile air ducts circulate filtered air around the cabins, efficiently maintaining a pleasant climate

Revolving doors reduce energy required to keep cabin at a constant temperature by minimizing amount cooled air escape at each stop

Roof-mounted chameleon panels change from white to black, depending on whether heat energy needs to be absorbed or reflected to regulate interior temperature
