A Dubai-based, Russian employee of construction-industry firm Hilti, Konstantin Fedin has developed one of its kind world’s first car that runs on power-tool batteries. The modified car is an old Peugeot 206.
If you look closely to the Peugeot 206, you will realize it does not sport its signature lion-logo bonnet badge, in fact, the whole usual mechanism under the bonnet has been altered. There isn’t any combustion engine under its bonnet. Moreover, the car boot is converted into a battery holding bay.
Fedin bought Peugeot 206 for a couple of thousand dirhams only to make it an exclusive electric vehicle. He precisely explained its structuring and working sporting it with eight power-tool batteries, four for each motor. Each battery generates 22 volts, which collectively is enough to run the car.
Fedin kicked this project a year ago with an aim to display the working capacity of Hilti’s power-tool batteries. Later, he planned to use these batteries to drive a car. Fedin worked for nine months and developed world’s first car that runs on power-tool batteries.
It neither contains any lavishing facilities nor gears up as you want it to be, but considering the fact that it is developed by a single man, this effort is quite remarkable in its own terms.
