The hybrid is a strategic vehicle to tackle congestion and ensure safe transportation. It will carry five passengers and a cargo and will care for the occupants, pedestrian and the environment as well. MIT VDS utilizes the GaBi software to employ only 5% of the materials that go into the design and engine of Toyota Prius. It’s also working hard to minimize costs related to fuel, batteries and electric motors.
