The Hydrostatic Powertrain of the 130 MPG Car:

Saves Energy

• Reduces weight
  of the car by 30%.
• Recuperates entire
  braking energy.
• Best conditions for
  small engine.

Reduces Emissions

• Nearly Homogeneous
  Diesel Combustion (HCCI)
• Variable compression for
  multiple fuels.

Increases Safety

• Active bumpers for energy
  absorption during an
  accident from up to 25 mph.
  (Front, rear and side impacts.)

The new car drives like a conventional car with an automatic transmission. However, the new car is more responsive and the driving comfort is improved. All additional functions are managed by the powertrain computer.
