Solar panels by trucks can give them 10 thousand km of additional run a year

In Sweden work over a scientific and industrial initiative which is directed on development easy solar panels for use in cargo cars. On an idea, it will allow to cut expenses, to reduce emissions of harmful substances and to create steady transport system. The experimental truck with the hybrid system, covered with solar panels, can provide big run without additional expenses — from 5000 to 10000 km a year in addition, depending on weather conditions. At operation in Sweden such heavy truck will generate 8000 kW · h in a year. In the joint project Uppsalsky...
