The UK's first people-powered VW Beetle has taken to the streets of Bristol in what has been hailed as a breakthrough in the drive to encourage sustainable power.
The Bio-Bug runs on methane gas generated during the sewage treatment process.

Waste flushed down the toilets of just 70 homes in Bristol is enough to power the Bio-Bug for a year, based on an annual mileage of 10,000 miles.

  • If you guys would like some advertisement in America, I would absolutely LOVE to drive one of these cars!! This is awesome!

    If you could convert a Honda Fit to run on methane, though, that would be absolutely perfect. <3

  • @hitheresunshine. Dear hitherssunshine, thank you for your interest in the Bio Bug. We currently have no plans to expand to America yet. If ever you are in the UK you are more than welcome to visit our facility and drive the car…

    Thank you very much for the invite! I do hope to travel to the UK someday, and when I can get up there, I'll make sure to stop by your facility. :D
