Parts of a car’s bodywork could one day be used like a battery to help fuel a car’s journey according to scientists at Imperial College London . Researchers from Imperial have been working with European partners such as Volvo to develop a prototype material that stores and discharges electrical energy. The revolutionary material is strong and lightweight enough to be used for car parts. It is hoped the material will be used in hybrid petrol/electric vehicles to make them lighter, more compact and more energy efficient. Ultimately, this will enable drivers to travel for longer distances before needing to recharge their car. Kevin – www.studylondon.ac.uk Tagged: car design , imperial college london
