The 130 MPG INGOCAR is a medium size 5-seat passenger car, driven by a new Hydrostatic Powertrain. The car and its powertrain are significantly more efficient, lighter and powerful. The car drives like a conventional car with an automatic transmission. However, fuel consumption, emissions, and safety are significantly better.  Driving performance and comfort have improved, too. . . . .

The plan to participate on the $10 million Automotive X-Prize has been canceled. Sufficient funding to build two cars for the competition could not be obtained during the last ten months. The development of the 170 MPG INGOCAR is for the common good and remains our goal. Sponsorship is needed and would be greatly appreciated. To encourage financial support, advertisement space will be provided on this very 'Green' automobile. The INGOCAR has been revised. The basic concept remains the same, but the energy management has been tightened and the structure further simplified. The changes resulted in a weight reduction of 600 lb (275 kg) and improvements in fuel consumption and emissions. For more information, see: INGOCAR 2009. Also, the Hydrostatic Powertrain is listed in the Top 100 Technologies of the New Energy Congress. Some expert validation has been received in a response through an advertisement in the New York Times from February 16, 1996:

3. Q. 2008: The detailed revision of the INGOCAR resulted in a weight reduction of more than 20% (440 lb to 1760 lb/200 kg to 800 kg) using more sophisticated control techniques for the powertrain and newer, but established materials and manufacturing techniques for the car body.

1. Q. 2009:  The design update results in a simplified structure of the platform and a weight reduction of 27% to 1600 lb (725 kg).

2.Q, 2009:  The revision of the combustion engine resulted in a 20% reduction in specific fuel consumption and an increase in milage to 170 mpg.
