The Netherlands has developed an energy-efficient car engine that can be mounted directly on wheels.

With the rising international oil prices and the increasing harm caused by automobile exhaust to the environment and human health, people began to focus on the development of automotive energy-saving products. Recently, a Dutch inventor developed a new hybrid engine that can be directly mounted on wheels.

The engine is mounted on the wheels of a car. It supplies power to the battery through a small diesel generator, transmits it to the motor mounted in the wheel, and pushes the electromagnetic force generated by the motor to propel the wheel.

The working principle of this kind of engine is similar to that of a maglev train. The maglev train requires a long rail. The magnet is placed under the train and uses electromagnetic force to propel the train forward. For a vehicle modified with a new engine, it resembles a train track. The device becomes a circular steel shaft so that, thanks to the electromagnetic force, the wheels outside the steel shaft will rotate rapidly.

Inventor Ainan said that any new hybrid engine can be modified on any bus, and drivers do not need to be trained. According to Ainan, because the bus often starts to stop and the fuel consumption is large, the installation of the new hybrid system can help the bus save 60% fuel consumption and reduce exhaust emissions by 80%. In addition, it runs very quietly, so it also gets a whisper of "whisperer".

Drivers who have tested the bus have also greatly appreciated the performance of the car. They said that the modified car had very low noise and was running smoothly, and the driver and passengers were very satisfied.

At present, Utrecht and Rotterdam in the Netherlands have decided to use this new engine to transform some buses. France, Germany, and Australia are also interested in this new engine.
