The world’s greenest and most stealthy electric car
June 11, 2010
American artist, Justin Shull has built an electric vehicle from recycled trees that overcomes many of the problems faced by car drivers today.
Virtually indistinguishable from a well-trimmed privet hedge, the Terrestrial Shrub Rover is inconspicuous so could, in theory, be parked with impunity on any area of grass.
The electric-powered Rover may not have a high top speed, but its batteries cost very little to re-charge.
And far from adding to the visual clutter of parked cars, the Shrub Rover adds much-needed greenery to the urban jungle.
The hedge you can drive to the shops
A spokesperson for the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) said: “The Shrub Rover was conceived as an art project and not intended for production, but the combination of driving and gardening is one that might very well appeal to us Brits.”
