Japanese electronics manufacturer Sanyo has teamed up with Ryobi to unveil the Solarve Bus that employs solar panels on the outside to generate power for bus’s interior lighting and air scrubbers. The futuristic vehicle ensures that the bus’s electrical systems don’t rely on traditional energy sources for power. Eneloop air purifiers are deployed inside the bus to filter out viruses, bacteria and general filth from the Solarve Bus's cabin air.
