Eco Factor: Hybrid car made from natural materials.
Green cars are not a new thing for Toyota, which earlier showcased a variety of cars which could by all means be termed green. The company is again making news with another concept that could be a common sight on the road after a couple of decades. Toyota has showcased a hybrid concept car made from seaweed that will be shown at the Melbourne International Motor Show in Australia. The 1/X is being termed as Toyota’s dream machine, which if developed could make millions of dreams come true.

The car is powered by a 500cc engine that is about a third the size of Toyota’s ingenuity, the Prius. The 1/X makes use of high-tech materials like carbon-fiber reinforced plastic, which gives its collision safety. Weighing just over 400kg, the car can also be powered by electricity, giving it better speed and range.
The Dark Side:
The car makes use of materials that are not readily available today and manufacturing them especially for the car is not a cost-effective approach. Toyota accepts that the car will not hit showrooms for another decade.
