Must say we are definitely getting conscious about the environment, and I’m saying this after being a witness to so many hybrid and electric cars making a debut.
 

 
And the latest in the line is the Naro-A high performance fuel efficient urban vehicle that boasts of delivering 100 miles per gallon from a 400 cc, single-cylinder, 4-valve gasoline engine with a maximum of 20 bhp.
 
Looks that of a motorbike, this one is a compact vehicle designed to carry a single person. All we can say is, it could’ve been better if two could commute; otherwise it is definitely a chic way to put your environment conscious soul at display.
