'Stella Vita,' a fully solar-powered campervan, has just driven through Europe without stopping for fuel or plugging in to charge.
Traveling along the highways of Europe, a campervan named"Stella Vita" has driven almost 2,000 kilometers without stopping for fuel or plugging in to charge.
"The main goal is to really inspire people and the market and society to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable future," says 21-year-old Tijn Ter Horst, a member of Solar Team Eindhoven 2021, which made the vehicle, with funding from sponsors."What we're trying to do is to show people and show companies what's already possible."
"It's a very particular looking car so when you're driving through, for example, Paris or another city, all the people are there waving, taking photos," says Horst."It's great to see what we achieved in one year and we're really looking forward to inspiring even more people."
