Now, the outgoing government of Korea has passed new legislation to combat this pollution and join in the international battle against climate change.

The aptly named “Act on Climate Change” will establish an emissions trading market, raise the bar for renewable energy, assist in reducing industrial, home, and vehicle emissions, and increase carbon capture.

Loreme is a company based in Munich, Germany and if I had only three words to describe them I would choose "Simple, Clever & Fun". With their latest invention "Loremeo" they created a really beatiful and affordable car with a starting price of $14,976.

Concept:

How expensive will petrol become? How valuable is the environment to us, really?
Why do we need 1.5 tons of steel to get an 80 kg person from A to B?

While trying to answer these questions we developed a concept which ensures mobility for everyone also in the future: Loremo = low resistance mobile!

The cars of the future will have to be more efficient, which means less consumption of resources during production and operation. Loremo stands for this efficiency.

It's a simple idea: Weight and air resistance are decisive for fuel consumption of vehicles. Reducing these factors will reduce consumption. And the more you reduce the more efficient you will drive.
Lightness instead of mass: a principle which has proven reliable for generations in the fields of sports.

Simple:

Loremo offers functionality in a most confined space, versatility and simple handling. And with a consumption of 1.5 litres per 100 km Loremo is not only friendly to the environment but also good for your purse.

Clever:

As a sports car, Loremo offers the pleasure of driving with "added value" and defines a pioneering - because sustainable - philosophy of life - and all this at a sensationally nice price!

and finally: FUN!
