Above is a photo of auto enthusiast Brad Bonning in his aluminum Bonning Roadster, which has just undergone Australian road certification testing. Should Bonning's three-wheeled vehicle be approved and find the appropriate funding, it will be perhaps the first mass-produced automobile that runs on garbage. The engine, developed by sustainable technology firm Eco Nova, runs on refuse.
We say "appropriate" level of funding because while Bonning has already had offers to produce the car, he's turned them down for reasons of economics; the car's goal is not just to be produced, but to be affordable. "To have [the car] become a really expensive, elite product is the opposite of why I did it," Bonning tells the Australian Daily. "If it costs the same as a Porsche or a Ferrari, it defeats the purpose."
