The 50 Best Inventions of 2010: Antro Electric Car – a magyar Antro elektromos autó
The car of the future, now coming from: Hungary. Yes, it sounds like communist propaganda (kommunista propaganda) circa 1967, but the Hungarian designer Antro might just have made a super efficient (hatékony), super cheap car that could put Western manufacturers to shame (put to shame – szégyenbe hoz). The Antro Solo can hold up to three people — a driver and two passengers, one on either side — who pedal to help drive the ultralight car. The rest of the forward motion (előre haladó mozgás) comes from an electric motor that’s partly powered by solar panels. If you need a bigger car, Antro has a solution (megoldás): two Solos can be combined, Transformers-style, to create the family-friendly Duo. Look for it in 2012.
