Puma’s been doing some interesting things lately, like the cool solar phone it unveiled at the Mobile World Congress, or this brand new F1 car. This one won’t run, let alone provide a decent competition those “real” Formula 1 cars, but it is quite an eye catcher.

Puma unveiled its brand new solar powered phone at the ongoing Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Though partnering with Sagem wouldn’t really make people run towards the phone, it has some pretty good features that might actually work well. The good-looking device has a solar panel at the rear to charge the batteries from the sun’s energy. More interesting is the way the phone utilizes this energy.

Green technology is not just great for the planet, but most often its the ultra-cool and futuristic solutions make for a great and stylish alternative for everyone. And General Motors in partnership with Segway try to do so. They’ve just unveiled PUMA.

PUMA (Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility) is a prototype for an urban two-wheeled electric scooter that is covered with an enclosed compartment which offers safety and protection from the sun and the rain.

The vehicle is not just going to be a sleek and ergonomic commuting option for urban users of tomorrow, but it will also be a pollution-free option with an in-built, electrically charged battery that gives it a mileage of 35 miles on a single charge and ensures that it cruises at a top speed of around 35 mph.

Apart from the fact that the PUMA is an extended, protected and powered-up form of Segway, it is a two-seater that makes it a lot more viable. With its price tag being projected as one-fourth of a normal commercial vehicles, it sure saves some green stuff; money and the environment. [via WSJ]
