Oh Euro 4, Euro is a emission stage level. Like Euro one or the Bharti Stage 1 is the first level passing of pollution standards,

Euro 2 oh i just found the wiki link to do it

This car was introduced in Europe for a price of appr. 1,250 Euros.
Seems that no country in the EC allows it to drive on the roads, as it is unsafe (yet).
It made a nice intro though!

Hi Sharon, nice to hear from you again;)

I could deal with the mileage restriction since I live very close to my place of employment, but plugging in when on the road? Maybe run an extension cord into my hotel room?

Great video too! Thanks a lot for sharing with me and the One Eyed View readers:)

How about a car you plug in just like any other household appliance? The ZENN (zero emission no noise) car is a 100% electric car developed in Canada. The downside is 40km per hour speed limit and where to plug it in if you’re away from home? But it’s pretty cool.

I’m embarrassed, thanks for the correction Clyde. Can you explain Euro 4 for those of us who aren’t familiar?

One its Rupee and not Lupee Lupee sounds fun like im a lil lupee today.

Two, the Nano is Euro 4 so it should not be causing too much pollution as compared to other cars.

Hey BadEvan,

I would agree, the CAT Car seems the most logical overall. In fact, one thought I had after posting was whether or not the places where the Nano will be sold have access to mass transit?

It would seem to me that if Tata Motors is at all interested in being environmentally conscious, they might focus some of their efforts on a public transportation solution. I suppose this will take some further research of the company before I spout off too much;)

Of all the different technologies out there I think the CAT (Compressed Air Technology) Car is the best. It’s cheap, clean, and meets all the demands of us crazy American drivers. IE: maintenance costs, mileage per “charge”, and style.

Granted it’s a little small and kind of strange looking. But hey look at the Element and PT Cruiser.
