Solar Powered Verdier Wagon
Ranked #3,778 in Cars, #196,060 overall
Travelling and camping could have just gotten a whole lot cheaper
The new Verdier eco-van may have revolutionised how future hybrid cars are designed. Using both solar power and diesel with pneumatic suspension it claims 8 litres per 100km.
With rising oil prices and the theory of Global Warming it is a surprise that more solar powered/hybrid cars arnt on the market seeing how appealing something as simple as parking your car in the sun could lower your greenhouse gas emissions.

As you can see it's a lot like the original VW Westfalia, with the same sort of design but with a modern touch. Packed full of features and it's still the same old 'retro' design. Due to be released by 2010 with a target price of US$69,000 they're not all that cheap, but when you weigh it all up you are saving the planet.

- your welcome, I love reading your article, I am just wondering why the public refuse to use this alternative source of energy, is because of the oil cartel syndicate world wide?

- Thats a very nice retro design, however for the price tag of 69,000$ there are better cost options out there, like a Prius hybrid or Tesla for a more luxury vehicle. Its seems many auto makers are turning to Renewable Energy especially solar power these days.

- Seems as though everything is going "green" these days, even aircraft like the SolarImpulse which just flew on solar power alone for over 26 hours!
This eco-van is really cool - maybe my wife would fly her Piper Cub to a campground and I could meet her there - we're and aviation family after all!
