Cuban mechanic builds a working charcoal‑powered automobile amid gas scarcity | DW News

A Cuban mechanic has modified his old car to run on charcoal.
Juan Carlos Pino, from the town of Aguacate, built the system from scrap as gasoline shortages worsened following the cutoff of oil shipments. The 56‑year‑old says his charcoal‑powered 1980 Polski Fiat can run for hours and travel more than 80 kilometers. Residents gather to watch the car work, and some ask him to build one for them.
