Designed by engineering students from the Department of Traffic Engineering, Da Nang University of Technology, the electric vehicle features roof-mounted photovoltaic panels that convert sunlight into electricity to feed the batteries. Dubbed the SC4 or Solar Car C4, the vehicle can hit a maximum speed of 30kph. The car can run for 30km on single charge.
The 350kg vehicle, which costs more than VND80million (US$4,200), can also run on liquefied natural gas.
