The Vayro is a future track concept to meet the increasing freight requirement of long-distance road haulage for the year of 2020. The design incorporates high capacity semi-trailers towed by the tractor to ensure greater productivity by large quantity of freight at a time. The sleek profile of the truck ensures minimal air resistance and the suspensions have been designed to automatically lower the whole combination by 4 inches from the drive height at speed above 55 miles/hr. The truck is powered by a hydrogen-fuelled internal combustion engine and features a power-split transmission that transmits the power electrically through an included electric generator or through a typical driveline.
Surprisingly, the truck can initiate proper countermeasures when required, such as applying the break force to avoid an imminent accident or preventing changing a lane if a collision may occur as a result. If an accident occurs, however, it takes measures to protect the road users and the driver too. The overall length of the combination is 123 feet that can carry a gross of 182,000 pounds.

The air alien ship is a green helicopter concept that offers a range of flying opportunities by comprising a large electric motor and a stator with two large electromagnetic rings. The Two giant fuel tanks filled with hydrogen and oxygen are laid under the floor that generates the required electricity. The concept integrates two propellers with permanent magnetic wings running in the opposite direction independently and contains a detachable ring that provides stability. With its magnetic levitation, the propellers produce very little noise to ensure an ideal safari or panorama flight.
The complete operation of the helicopter is controlled through the computer. When the helicopter is lifted above the ground, the four feet takes the position for flying and works as leg flaps and when landing, the feet acts as landing gears. The angle of legs are the key factor for generating speed and to turn left or right, the pilot accelerates one of the two propellers. Most f the elements are made of carbon fiber which helps keeping the helicopter incredibly lightweight.

BlitzenBenz concept racing car has been designed in a new way of challenging the global issues keeping the long lived racing heritage of Mercedes intact. The shape and pattern of the concept comprises various innovative technologies like liquid armor and a military application operated Kevlar armor that can strengthen the car by applying pressure on its organic parts to turn into different shapes. Not only that, with the development of the nanotechnology, many more organic parts can be genetically included with the car that will respond like human bodies react with the nerve system.
The horizontal tube like structure of BlitzenBenz was designed to visually look and acts like a vase where plants grow in. The lighting idea was inspired by bioluminescent that can be found in deep sea creatures and the wheels are individually held by the organic structure with in-wheel motors that would open whenever it requires just like a plant blossoms to get sunlight or water. A hydrogen tank is located in the side pocket of the car that can give the vehicle a visual impression of recycling water throughout the entire vehicle.

The Hydrofill is an innovative electronic gadget charging solution that utilizes a hydrogen fuel cell to charge a range of electronic products such as mobile phones, ipods, cameras, and many more. This palm-size, ultra-portable charger extracts hydrogen from water and features two special metal alloy made cartridge including highly convenient home refilling station set to store the hydrogen in solid state.
Unlike traditional compressed tanks, this refillable container contains very low pressure inside, making the device the most practical and safest means of storing hydrogen. The hydrogen making procedure is simple, just fill water and plug it into a wall-socket or a solar panel, once the cartridges are full with solid state hydrogen, remove it and place into the charging device that can charge any electric device through USB port.

The idea of Pholeum transportation unit concept is based on the living cell tissue structure of a plant that can carry organic nutrients to any part of the plant where required. This vehicle has been designed as a personal mobility unit based on an ideal transportation means for mega-cities, which has made riding this eco-friendly car just equivalent to a bike down the street.
The minimalist interior features control steering pod, a mimicking game like control where brake and gas paddles embedded close to the steering wheel, offering next generation driving environment. The wheels are fully immersed with rubberized tire with independent spoke arrangement that allows the wheels to absorb the road bumps without having used the suspensions. Moreover, the out of the body wheel base has added few extra with the innovative look that the car already has with its clear body shell and green house like design.
