Engine
editThe Model U used a 2.3-liter, four-cylinder supercharged, intercooled hydrogen internal combustion I4 engine which also used a hybrid electric transmission.[1] With this type of engine and transmission, this engine lived up to PZEV standards.
Design
editThe Model U's exterior was soy-based[2] and the interior was highly automated. It had a power-retractable canvas roof and could go from an SUV to a pickup truck with its automatic retractable behind. The interior featured a slot system[clarification needed] to reduce clutter.[1]
