While many of us will readily attest to running of coffee, this truck may be the first vehicle to join the caffeine club - used grounds are placed into the tank, where a process called gasification converts them into a usable fuel. Perhaps the brightest bit of news to glean from this 1975 GMC is that gasification doesn’t only apply to coffee; any biomass will do, including compost or peat moss.


5. Humancar

It is called the humancar, but this is really a modern interpretation of the Flintstone family cruiser. Yes, America, it has a battery assist in case you find yourself huffing and puffing in the flow of traffic, but with four stations for passengers to pump away, the production model can reach speeds of up to 80 miles an hour.
