A Super Fast, Super Fuel Efficient Trike

Among the many high performance hybrid vehicles that have been stirring up interest lately is the eVaro by Future Vehicle Technologies (formerly FuelVapor Technologies). The eVaro gets 275 mpg, can reach a top speed of up to 135 mph, and can go 0-60 in five seconds.

The hybrid configuration of this three wheeler is different than most though. The article elaborates —

“Not only is it fast, but the eVaro can travel up to 125 miles on one charge, and recharges at home in three hours. To keep the electricity flowing while it’s out and about, the car’s gas generator periodically kicks in to provide power for topping up the battery. Unlike most hybrids, the eVaro’s gas motor does not ever propel the vehicle directly.”

Future Vehicle Technologies plans to go into production with the eVaro, but has first submitted it to compete for the $10,000,000.00 Automotive X-Prize.
