GM advanced design LA was the second consecutive year, the Department of Design Competition challenges of design awards. This year their weapons by 2015 is a two-dimensional blue sky concept car, the car with environmental protection and green as the main bright spot, known as the Hummer 02, the car proved that the design of motor vehicles for daily use can also bring benefits for the environment .
2006 LA auto design challenges contest's theme is environmental protection and sustainable development, aimed at promoting a car of the future contribution to environmental protection, the study challenges the design team to change the current image of car pollution. In addition there are the requirements to all the exhibitors to the body material to be 100 percent recyclable, and the largest life cycle should not exceed 60 months. General exhibitors this is a two-dimensional images, rather than 3 D model.

In the U.S. west coast of Southern California, the senior common room design, the designers have completed this impossible task, they succeeded. This works to the the concept car in terms of environmental protection is only the output. Their masterpiece entirely over the original intention of the organizers: This is the Hummer 02 Concept.
"Hummer 02 is a group of Southern California's outdoor sports militants in a strong cross-country, the exchange function and a high standard of safety and designed, and it is feasible and can re-use" of GM Advanced Design Studio for Frank Saucedo Said: "Most of the handlebar LA auto show 95 percent of the time spent outside outdoors, we need to use other design their mind?" »
In order to better create Hummer 02, GM team that they should be in the ecology and biology to pay more these efforts.
Photosynthesis
Hummer 02 of the body is constituted by the Phototropism plant, as long as they have in the case of the sun will be able to carry out photosynthesis, a plus for the environment of oxygen. These plants are the main species of plants, photosynthesis in principle no need for me to say, such a body is indeed second to none.
"The basic body functions that is safe from the Hummer 02 'leaves' to complete, in addition to the functions of cleaning up the environment" Saucedo said: "Taking into account the future production of these species can still be recovered."
Respiratory
Hummer 02 through the body panels in each location of the two-way corner of the airway to enhance the production of oxygen. Design of the car also carbon dioxide and nutritional materials detection system, can monitor the production of algae body, and therefore can make timely adjustments to produce more oxygen.

Dynamic
Four models and promote the independence of the fuel cells will power hydraulic motors to convey to each axis. Mixed fuel tank car was placed in a central location, which is based on the safety and structure of a consideration, this is the car the "heart."
Wheel
Take the initiative to adjust the TM tires on the highway to provide a lower resistance, and when the cross-country road can transform the shape to fit the sinister road - Not only that, by changing the shape also took into account the protection of the surrounding environment.

Ultimately, the purpose of carrying out a reduced impact on the environment, this Hummer 02 of the body using a 100 percent recyclable materials, including aluminium framework of the structure, seats from non-organic volatile compounds (VOC-Free) materials, use of glass The material is a PETE (similar to soda bottles of materials). This is the General Motors Advanced Design Center of the West Coast was the second time Naksan machine design awards. In last year's show on the Design Center has won a Design Challenge Award, to participate in the challenges of the next vehicle is a rich design elements of the vehicle, called the GMC Pad. And this year's award winner is the Hummer 02, the car is not only in the design competition theme, but also for the surrounding environment are also high adaptability. Xiangman car on the algae, the Hummer 02 is a use of hydrogen as fuel for vehicles, very green. This time the design also proved that the car in their daily use of cars can also good protection of the environment.
Since 2006 the theme of the design challenge lies in environmental protection, organizers hope to participate in the design of the officers are able to environmental awareness into their daily driving in. Competition rules also require the overall design of a certain body needs 100 percent can be recovered, the life span of vehicles can only be in within 60 months. General Motors through a series of 2 D diagram to show their ideas, and are not using 3 D modeling, in Southern California, the General Motors Advanced Design Center of the West Coast designers completed the design of this arduous task. The local chief designer Frank • Socinians more, said: "Luo Shan-vehicle travel time outside the occupied 95 percent of its life, then why can not the surrounding environment for the return some contributions» "Of course, in order to ensure that this Hummer 02 the exact quality, GM confirmed the development team for the energy of biology and understanding.
Photosynthesis
02 Hummer concept vehicle ownership revolutionary Phototropism body, in the lifetime of vehicles for photosynthesis and release oxygen. Full of seaweed body of the plant can be carbon dioxide into oxygen, continue to add the surrounding environment and the needs of the car. "The main body panel on the effectiveness of the plant and leaves," chief designer Frank • Socinians many said, "used by the algae are also can be recycled, produce more energy." Hummer through at 02 Body parts of two-way valve system to enhance the output of oxygen, the system can effectively control and monitor dioxide and the nutritional needs of algae, while optimizing oxygen production and distribution.
Body of the four wheels of a hydraulic motor with the engine, as for the installation of liquid hydrogen fuel tank was placed in the middle of a suitable location for safety and structural stability. Active Tread TM tires on the highway and cross-country road as well, above all, the vehicles for the environment and adaptable.
Frame
The car care for most of the local environment, but also the structure of the body using materials belonging to 100 percent can be recovered, including the aluminum framework of the body, volatile organic compounds made of seats, and so on.
