Deriving its name from Greek mythology, the Eos is a zinc-air battery-powered vehicle with a top speed of 100 kmph. The [three-wheeler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars) features a space-modifying wheel steering system and modern virtual components to make it more efficient. Check out the video and some images of the car in the featured gallery. **Implications** - It has become increasingly common for companies to front-load their advertisements with details about the eco-friendliness of their goods.
