Renault Runner Futuristic Taxi By Walter Robert

With increasing pollution and messy traffic jams, cities despite of their glittering life are losing charm as an ultimate abode for common men worldwide. In an attempt to improve city commutation, Tanzanian designer Walter Robert has developed a future taxi system named the “Renault Runner” that makes most out of renewable sources of energy to sustain the urban environment and make cities a better place to live.
