SolarSprint: The Green Wheels
Planning an energy-proficient and harmless to the ecosystem vehicle reasonable for use in
Malaysia includes thinking about different factors like solar panels, battery technology,
regenerative braking, and many more.
2. Solar panels
1. Battery technology Solar panels will be on the roof of the car and will
be absorbing the sunlight to charge the battery. It

run the car instead of petrol tanks faster. It does not emit any harmful gases as it
uses the sun’s energy.

cutting greenhouse gas emissions and relying less long-term savings by lowering the cost of electricity
on fossil fuels than conventional internal combustion needed to charge the automobile, even though the
engine vehicles. initial investment in solar panels may increase the
cost of the vehicle.
3. Regenerative braking
Electric and hybrid cars can recover energy
while braking or decelerating thanks to a
technology called regenerative braking.
Benefits:
• Energy Recovery: In normal cars, when you
brake or slow down, the energy changes into
heat because of friction, which wastes a lot of
energy. But in regenerative braking, instead of
heat, it converts into electrical energy, which
can be used again.
• Environmental Benefits: This helps the
environment by making the car more
energy-efficient. It also reduces how much
we need to use fossil fuels by cutting down
on the energy taken from the battery, as it
can be used again.

The body, doors, roof and flooring
along with interiors of the car will
be made up using the recycled
metal sheets, hardened / soft
plastic and processed rubber as
needed.
Benefits:
Saving the consumption of
precious Earth’s limited natural
resources.
Reduce the demand of raw
materials.
