Biome Renewable Concept Car by Mercedes-Benz - 12 Pics

The Mercedes-Benz BIOME would grow in a completely organic environment from seeds sown in a nursery.

At this year's Los Angeles Design Challenge, the designers from the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studios in Carlsbad, CA, surprised everyone with a revolutionary vision.

Taking their inspiration from nature, they designed a vehicle which is fully integrated into the ecosystem, from the moment of its creation through to the end of its service life.

The Mercedes-Benz BIOME would grow in a completely organic environment from seeds sown in a nursery. Out on the road the car emits pure oxygen, and at the end of its lifespan it can be simply composted or used as building material.

Conceptual bus Credo E-Bone

Credo E-Bone concept bus utilizes fuel cell technology, li-ion batteries and lightweight composites.

Hungarian designer Peter Simon dreamed up the Credo E-Bone concept bus as public transportation at its greenest. The zero-emissions E-Bone generates power from hydrogen fuel cells and stores juice in lithium-ion batteries mounted on the bus' enormous roof. Motivation is provided by four wheel-mounted electric motors and the concept features lightweight composite plastics throughout. The E-Bone name, though unusual, actually refers to the bus' skeleton-like structure and electric-drive capabilities.
