Part bike (the size), part Moonbeam (the fuel efficiency), and part dream, the Naro vehicle concept will be on display at the AFVI Show in Anaheim next week. This tiny vehicle - designed for city use as a personal commuter, a taxi or a delivery vehicle - is intended to return over 100 miles per gallon (60 g/km of CO2 emissions) from a 400 cc, single-cylinder, 4-valve gasoline engine with a maximum of 20 bhp (there are more specs after the jump). Whether the vehicle on display will be a mule or a more-advanced prototype, we'll have to wait and see.

The Naro concept is part of a Welsh invasion of the AFVI show featuring Connaught Motor Co., the Narrow Motor Co., Breacon Coachworks, PEC, researchers from Cardiff University, the University of Glamorgan, and the Swansea School of Industrial Design. The other showcase vehicle is the upcoming Connaught Type D hybrid sports car. The team from Wales will also talk about upcoming hybrid midi-buses. We'll have more information and interviews with company execs from the show floor next week. A preview press release is after the break.
