Three Wheel Car

The PMC AEV (Alternative Energy Vehicle) Three-wheel vehicle was designed by Ronald H. Powers, President and founder of Powers Design International. The PMC is a prototype built for the sole purpose of exploring different fuel-efficient technologies. It utilizes 4 different drive trains: a 3 cylinder Daihatsu-engine or a 3 cylinder Yanmar Diesel for high gas-mileage, a 6 cylinder Kawasaki engine for high performance or a Westinghouse electric motor powered by lead-acid batteries for a zero emission version. With the Diesel this car can achieve a gas-mileage of 80mpg and a cruising range of 1000 miles! The whole car is made out of just three major parts, which kept manufacturing costs low. The Polyurethane sandwich body panels cover a 1.5" steel tube space frame, which makes this car extremely crash safe. It also features a detachable hardtop, an automatic transmission, LED displays, surround stereo system and Recaro leather sports seats. It's total weight is just a stunning 1500 lbs!
