Solar and wind powered car

The ICARE Project is a non-profit undertaking whose aim is to take a tour around the world, starting in May 2010 and ending in October 2011, to learn about CO2 compensation initiatives in foreign countries. Over the course of a year, two reporters will travel in a special solar- and wind-powered vehicle. They will visit some 30 countries on four continents. Through this world tour, interesting sustainable development initiatives, particularly mechanisms used to compensate for CO2 emissions, will be presented and given media coverage.

 

 

 

Swiss engineer Mark Muller with the support of the Yverdon Engineering School developed the project and plans to cover over 40 thousand kilometres in the vehicle. The vehicle will be powered by solar energy during the day and wind-powered at night. This is a first attempt at a journey this long in a solar and wind powered vehicle.
