Michelin has reinvented the wheel with Active Wheel technology. The new wheel features a series of devices which reduces consumption while increasing comfort and handling. The weight of 7 kg and technology is that of the wheel is 32 kg, which is below the recommended maximum weight of 35 kg. The electric suspension system provides maximum comfort and an unsurpassed ride. All movements are corrected during steering thanks to the very rapid reaction of the suspension system power (of the order of a millisecond).
An electric traction motor provides a power of 25 kW and up to 60 kW for 11 seconds. The motor can be powered by a battery or a fuel cell. In addition, all components such as gearbox, drive shaft, shock absorber, clutch, exhaust, etc which are necessary in a car engine become useless. Thus, it is the passenger car that can be reinvented through the Active Wheel technology that gives space savings while reducing vehicle weight.

[...] Therefore the efficiency can double or even triple from that of gasoline. There is no more CO the CAP emits only deionized water.The discharged water could also be hydrolyzed to produce H 2 again.Nevertheless, the use of hydrogen in a closed circuit does not provide an optimal performance that can reach 70 %.Hydrogen can be used in three forms: liquid, gas, and metal. Liquid form, Hydrogen is contained in a tank weighing 10 kg only. The only problem here is the heat seal, because the temperature must be maintained at -252 o C. [...]
[...] However, the losses are negligible and manufacturers continue to make much progress to reduce the porosity of the reservoir through the liners. Michelin the center, the production of hydrogen is made by solar panels. The production cost amounts to 0 F besides investment. Presentation of the HY-2 light and demonstration The HY-2 light is an electric car that runs on a fuel cell. This prototype created by Michelin is powered by a fuel cell of 40 kW that uses hydrogen and oxygen as an energy carrier. A Li-ion additional 40 kW recovers energy during braking. [...]
[...] The reservoir has a capacity of 2.5 kg. Oxygen is also stored in tanks to provide instant improved dynamics; we obtain a gain of 10 to 15% performance in total. It is also not advisable to use oxygen from ambient air, since it is accompanied by NO x and Co, which damage the catalyst. Water comes out as exhaust. The speed goes from 0 to 100 km / h in under 10 seconds and goes up to 145 km / h. [...]
