That wasn't what I meant, but if you want to run with that, pol(l)ution and the pruduction of ali(u)minium are not usually carried out in city centres, I think the idea is to improve the quality of air in built up areas.

The fact that it is not supplied with lights suggests that it is intended as a toy and is, at the very least; a step in the right direction.

I mourn the eventual demise of the petrol engine even if it will hopefully not happen in my lifetime: if electricity is not solely the future; it is part of it.
