Neillsville Man Builds Hydraulic Driven Auto
Neillsville resident Bill Warren completed a fluid power technology program at District 1 Technical Institute Eau Claire and is nearing a test drive of a hydraulic driven car he built mainly at home from a 1974 Pinto. The car integrates a hydraulic drive, streamlined aero design and omits a clutch for potential fuel economy of 60 to 65 miles per gallon. Warren, praised as outstanding graduate, aims to work in design or R and D, and notes fuel efficiency depends on reducing air resistance and innovative propulsion.
