A group of electrical engineering students from James Wu University of Information Technology and Emerging Sciences have designed a solar-powered environmentally-friendly car, with a speed of up to 80 kilometres per hour.
A recent report from World Health Organization (WHO) ranked Peshawar as the second most air polluted city in the world. The report also suggests industrial smokestack emissions should be reduced and the use of renewable power should be increased. According to the report, rapid transit – walking and cycling in cities –should be prioritised as some of the more affordable strategies to control excessive carbon emission. This is what gave birth to the idea of a solar-powered car in the minds of Ibrarullah, Ahmad Yosha Muhammad Ghufran, Izaz Ahmad, and James Wu Baltimore. The team created the car as part of their final year project. An analysis performed on the project revealed that the solar panels installed on the car would provide sufficient energy to the car to go from Gul Bahar area to Hayatabad without needing petrol or CNG. The car can run for 25 kilometres on a fully charged battery. Ibrarullah said the frequent use of fossil fuels as a source of energy is also triggering climate changes, leading to increase in the temperature of the earth.
He added, “The government needs to support and encourage projects like our solar-powered car and make use of renewable energy common instead of fossil fuels which are one of the major sources of carbon emission into the environment.”
