The tiny four-seater electric concept - called Lina - weighs just 310 kilograms and can reach a top speed of 80 kmh. Lina was the brain child of the students from Eindhoven University of Technology. Lina, as the car's been named, could lead the way in vehicles made entirely from recycled material. Lina, as the car's been named, could lead the way in vehicles made entirely from recycled material. The car is made entirely of bio plastics made from sugar beets. Having received a safety certificate, Lina became road legal this summer. The students now say it will be presented to the general public and experts in an attempt to raise environmental awareness. They're not the first to build an electric car solely out of recyclables. In March this year, a group of Canterbury University students created what they believed to be a world first – a fully recyclable electric car. That car was made entirely out of vacuum-formed plastic weighed 130kg, produced up to 5kW of power from its battery pack and does up to 40kmh.
