DIY solar power for a Piaggio Ape, India 2015
Mobility of tomorrow
Inspired by solar initiatives around the world, a young Indian engineer, Naveen Rabelli, is also helping to raise awareness of the importance of sustainable mobility. He created a solar tuktuk by equipping an old diesel-powered Piaggio Ape with an electric motor, a lithium-ion battery, a built-in charger and solar panels.
Naveen Rabelli drove his solar-powered vehicle through 12 countries to reach the UK. During the 3,500 kilometres of the trip actually covered by solar power, he saved more than 800 litres of fossil fuels. Thanks to his low-carbon adventure across two continents and his public relations work in support of a sustainable lifestyle – he visited numerous schools on the way – he is seen as an ambassador for sustainability and renewable energies.
