A Chinese company, Sanya Si Hai, has developed a car that can be produced using a 3D printer. Costing just US$1,700, the vehicle is somewhat basic and is only capable of 40km/h. The battery-powered Shuya car can carry two people and is intended for use on short urban trips. However, the diminutive Shuya was beaten to pole position for the honour of the world’s first 3D printed car by the US-developed Strati, made by Local Motors in the US.

    Bosch and PSA Peugeot Citroën are now working on a hydraulic hybrid powertrain for passenger cars. The system features two hydraulic units linked to pressure accumulators. Using this technology the vehicle can be driven using the conventional power source, hydraulically or by a combination of the two. Under low load, the internal-combustion engine can be run at a more economical operating status. When braking, kinetic energy is converted into hydraulic energy and stored in the pressure accumulator, which ca
