[国际新闻] 英国家具商弗雷德·伍德造三轮木头汽车

由于不满一辆辆锈迹斑斑的报废汽车污染环境,英国家具制造商弗雷德·伍德想出一个妙招——手工打造世界上第一辆“永不生锈”的“木头汽车”。据悉,伍德为造双座位、三轮汽车共花去了2000多个小时,它重408公斤,体长4.14米,最高时速达163公里。

  伍德依据空气动力学原理,精心设计了一个线条流畅的全木车身。随后他又从家具市场上淘来上好的非洲桃花心木,造出一个厚度为6毫米的木质车身。最后,他为爱车涂上清漆,并起了“特亚尼二世”的名字。

  与传统汽车相比,它除了车身不是钢制的以外,总共只有三个车轮。它重408公斤,体长4.14米,最高时速达163公里。伍德的这辆新车被视为“绿色汽车”,一经问世,便深得国际环保人士的好评。

The two-seater was put together using the chassis and 602cc engine from a Citroen 2CV. Mr Wood then built up layers of African mahogany around a basic mould using a boat-building technique known as 'cold moulding'.
