After cars ,SOLAR BUSES are answer for green and clean world. TINDO the first entirely solar powered bus. The Tindo, which is the Kaurna name for Sun, is made by "Designline International", a New Zealand company and made its first official appearance on December 13th 2007.
"TINDO" has an operational range of 200 kilometers between charges under typical urban conditions, and as it doesn't have a combustion engine, it operates quietly and effectively with zero tail pipe emissions. It uses 11 Swiss-made ZEBRA sodium/nickel batteries, giving the bus high energy storage and operational range. The batteries are not affected by external temperatures.
IT is a pure electric vehicle ,the batteries will be recharged using a unique solar PV system installed on the roof of the Adelaide Central Bus Station. This system generates 70,000 kilowatt hours of zero carbon emissions electricity per year - which makes it the largest grid-connected solar system in Adelaide city.
HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE MORE SUCH INITIATIVES IN OTHER PARTS OF GREEN WORLD !
