Axon Automotive is determined to make Britain proud as it has readied the country’s first plug-in hybrid vehicle, and the Axon hatchback showcased at the Milton Keynes Science implies that a beginning has been made. By using carbon fibre technologies the new vehicle has managed to reduce kerbside weight and has eliminated the need for a battery courtesy of the plug-in technology.

 

As far as the emissions are concerned, it is the aerodynamic body which takes care of that along with maximizing fuel-efficiency. Even on the inside, the hatch comes with designer seats made of re-cycled jeans and suits which goes to show that this commuter means no harm to the environment. The final prototype of the hatch should be ready by 2011 with production starting in 2012.
