Hyundai Motor Company has launched its first-ever car with a solar roof charging system. In an announcement Friday, the business said that the technology would be used on the latest version of its Sonata Hybrid and then introduced to other vehicles over the coming years.

The idea is for the solar roof to support the car’s electric power source, boost fuel efficiency and lower carbon dioxide emissions, Hyundai said. Silicon solar panels have been attached to the roof of the vehicle and can charge while the car is moving.

Hyundai added that 30% to 60% of the car’s battery could be charged using solar technology. With six hours of charge per day, the vehicle could increase travel distances by 1,300 kilometres per year.

In a statement, Heui Won Yang, head of the Hyundai Motor Group’s Body Tech Unit, said that the technology allowed its customers to “actively tackle” issues related to emissions, adding that the business hoped to expand the technology to vehicles with traditional internal combustion engines.

The vehicle is being sold in South Korea and will also be released in the North American market, although there are currently no plans to make it available in Europe.

The idea of attaching solar panels to vehicles is not a new one, and neither is it restricted to land-based modes of transport.

In August 2018, an unmanned, solar-powered aircraft from the European aerospace giant Airbus completed a maiden flight lasting 25 days, 23 hours, and 57 minutes. In 2016, the Solar Impulse 2, a manned aircraft powered by the sun, managed to circumnavigate the globe without using fuel. The trip was completed in 17 separate legs.

It is the same thing with the ones they produce in your village abi?!
Shioor!
Orisirisi something!!

No wonder they are shipping used cars to Africa.. They are gradually moving to solar ... In 20th century we are still discussing about RUGA

Countries are being innovative with astounding technological inventions while we are still talking about ruga and some homosexual cows settlement in the 36 states. Useless country

"Our oil" will soon phase out

It's forward ever for these asians but the opposite for nigeria

How I wish Chidi would see this. I was telling him last year that this will happen and he doubted me.

I also told him that even as your four wheels are turning it will charge the battery of your electric car, he also doubted me. It's only a matter of time.

These are humans...

Black people are just so meh.

While intelligent people are trying to adapt to the changes with innovations....



Here in Nigeria is...

BBNaija.
RUGA.
Igbo vs Yoruba.
Buhari s certificate.




Which angel send me come here sef

wetin you don do as a person to improve this nation. If you invent something you go die?

Meanwhile in my country...weeps

Good market for the company...

While we're still thinking of how to implement ruga.

Kingv:

Nigeria without oil is better imagined than experienced.

If 70 per cent of Nigerians can be poor during an oil boom, only God knows what will happen when oil becomes almost worthless

My next cruise

A great achievement.

Ojuelegba container should not fall on the roof.

Nigerian House of representative right now!

That's going to be there next car!!

You need food in your stomach to think straight and invent. You need structured government support to see your invention through to reality. I’m not holding brief for him but the current Nigerian environment doesn’t encourage inventions or production of revolutionary products. It’s sad
