Great picture chrystalclear, looks a real classic, what is it and how does it stand up? I can only see two wheels.

Hangon, a couple of points about you comments:

a. In very simple terms, DAF was a CVT (constantly variable transmission) based on pulleys & rubber belts. TRKs transmission is an IVT (infinitely variable transmission) based on software control & is more flexible than DAFs CVT and the others that are about.
b. TRK WILL NOT be making gearboxes, they will be licensing existing gearbox manufacturers, several of which companies are currently involved in developing & testing the technology.

TRK is not the final answer to global emission problems, but it goes a long way to improving the present pollution problems created by cars etc.

OK it has to be the hidden wheel at the front! Very interesting machine and certainly would be if cornering quickly, that is if it would go quickly. Still interested in details about the machine please.
