UW Smogmobile Offers Cleaner, Safer Alternative To Gas Or Electric Cars

they predict the smogmobile would cost 3.8 cents per mile to drive. This compares favorably with the 6.2-cent-per-mile cost of operating gas-powered vehicles and electric cars (including the cost of battery replacement every two to three years).

Despite the environmental and economic benefits of liquid nitrogen vehicles, Hertzberg realizes it will be difficult to attract the interest of an automotive industry and public already committed to gas- and electric-powered cars. But he hasn't let that stop him.

"I don't expect any trouble in proving that a liquid nitrogen vehicle can work, I expect trouble in selling the idea," he said. "But this has become a bit of a holy grail for me because it's the right thing to do. This is a car that will work with the environment instead of against it."
