Solar-Powered Family Car Unveiled by Eindhoven University

Description

The Stella Vie, touted as the world's first solar-powered family car, was unveiled on Wednesday by Eindhoven University. The award-winning fully solar vehicle is the brainchild of Lightyear, Eindhoven University of Technology's "solar team." The car's ability to run in any city with an electric grid, means that it does not need any special infrastructure, long an obstacle for electric cars. Additionally, the car features independent in-wheel motors for each wheel, large indoor space for family use and large storage space due to the absence of a central engine.

Dutch Students Unveil World's First Electric Biocomposite Car

Some very creative and enterprising students from the Eindhoven University of Technology unveiled the world's first biocomposite car, dubbed 'Lina', at their university’s campus in Eindhoven on Wednesday. The vehicle, which is fully functional, weighs just over 660 pounds, runs on electric energy generated by a battery pack. The next step for Lina and the design team is to try and obtain a licence number for the car, which will enable her to be driven on public roads. In order to do this, they have to test the vehicle on the streets with the backing of the Dutch Vehicle Authority.

The solar-powered vehicle can cover a distance of over 120 miles with good sunlight and reach a speed of around 30 miles per hour, but the two-seater can also use gas as a backup when the weather is bad.
