The Fe solar powered car has just completed a 500 mile tour, kerb weight 600kg(approx) average speed 56mph IIRC. A research project from Portsmouth and Oxford Universities with funding from industry.
I wish I hadn't thrown into the recycling bin the copy of Production Engineer which carried the report.
In the haste to be seen doing something we're wasting millions on a prestige project for completion in 2026-8 (oh yeah, I believe that) when we need local stuff sorting. Here a 5 mile trip using public transport to the nearest town involves a 1.5 mile walk to the bus stop unless you can wait for one of the "three stage coaches a week " that allows you a 2 hour visit.
