This is crazy...the article reads this...

"...The transformation is truly revolutionary--no more engine under the front or rear bonnet, no more traditional suspension system, and no more gearbox or transmission shaft thanks to the Michelin Active Wheel. That's because all essential components have been integrated into the wheel itself. Cars equipped with this integrated solution deliver an array of unique advantages. In a sense, the Michelin Active Wheel is an intelligent wheel capable of propelling cars without gasoline, while ensuring suspension and braking functions and providing unrivalled road handling and comfort."

NOT ONLY THAT BUT HERE IS HOW IT WORKS..

"The Michelin Active Wheel inaugurates a new era in road transportation in which a car's road, safety, energy and environmental performance achieve unprecedented levels. This is because of a miniature drive engine and an electrical suspension system incorporated into the wheel. These technologies developed by Michelin have made it possible to completely rethink the car."


Something like this really can change the whole idea of a car. While other people are looking for ways to replace gas...this company looked for a way to change how a car moves. Brilliant in my opinion. This can definitely go somewhere. I would like to see this design in ten years. I will buy a car that has it.
