[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。

  据报道,现年46岁的弗雷德·伍德来自英国威尔士彭布鲁克郡,是名家具制造商。眼瞅着一辆辆锈迹斑斑的破旧汽车报废后,无情破坏和污染着生态环境,伍德闪出这样一个念头,为何不用木头替代钢铁,手工打造一辆车身全部为木质的“木头汽车”呢?于是他从一辆旧“雪铁龙”2CV型汽车上拆下底盘和发动机,开始利用造船技术自己动手制造汽车。9 v/ ~) T! o# X( O4 q" J/ S/ |

  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'.
