Elio Motors hopes to shake up the auto industry with its 84-mpg-estimated three-wheeler, but first, it's going to need to produce vehicles for testing. Elio Motors is slowly moving through the steps required to build its high-mpg trike. The build sequence is nailed down, so now it's time to start assembly. Eight people comprise Elio's build team, and the first hand-built vehicle to roll off the line will be used to test the anti-lock braking system. Others will be used to test aerodynamics and safety.
