SAIC’s YeZ Concept Uses CO2, Has Oxygen Emissions!
SAIC is best known to many as General Motor’s JV partner in China, and the automaker has displayed its design prowess with the EN-V concepts, and now, with the outlandish YeZ concept. Displayed as a design at the Shanghai World Expo, the 2030 YeZ takes environment friendliness to new levels.
The concept has a leaf-like rooftop covered in solar cells, and tiny windmills or wind turbines in the wheels that generate energy . It also generates energy from the unlikeliest of fuels, CO2. YeZ pulls off a leaf from the plant life, and uses a photosynthesis-like process to take in Carbon dioxide, give out Oxygen, and generate energy to keep the vehicle moving.
Energy from all these sources is sent to a battery that supplies power for the vehicle. There is nothing to say how practical and efficient the concept is, or even how it manages to pull off the photosynthesis-like process. The concept exists purely as an idea, of the form transportation may take in the future, and is quite far off from reality.
