I don't know much about it, but judging from the pic, it looks to be powered by something other than an internal combustion engine.

Being all green you know it's environmentally friendly. Hydrogen powered maybe? Or a veggie diesel?

The fender says EV so I assume it is electric. Now does it get its juice from Battery, H2 cell or is it really a hybrid type?

Wow, hydraulic shocks that spin a turbine to charge the batteries. That is very cool.

Crazy huh?

It would be cool for a driver, not so good off road with the battery tray mounted under the vehicle. Cool idea, and I would love to learn more about it, like is it still 4x4 and what is the real range?

Edit: Nevermind they say it is powering all four wheels, although they don't say if it is selectable 4 wheel drive, most likely it is AWD. Being selectable would increase the range, while still maintaining an ability to get off road. Not something for extreme rock crawling, but would be a great trail vehicle. It would probably work well in the mud with a torquey electric under the hood.
