Planters Nutmobile

The Nutmobile, the peanut-shaped traveling ambassador for the Planters brand, is going green. Its newest iteration runs on biodiesel and has a wind turbine, solar panels, LED interior lighting, recycled parts and wood floors reclaimed from a 19th century Pennsylvania barn. It will make its public debut at the Global Green Oscars preparty in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The Nutmobile's unmodified diesel engine will run on up to 20 percent biodiesel fuel and return 10 to 15 miles per gallon. Energy captured and converted by the wind turbine and solar panel drive an alternator that recharges batteries for the vehicle's interior lighting and sound system.
