Mumbai: Trains rescheduled, railway tracks submerged due to heavy downpour

A fully solar energy-fueled car seems no longer a dream. 
 
Sono Motors, a young German startup worked four years in a garage in Munich to develope and realize Sion, the most echo (and wallet) friendly car on earth. 
 
The car has a chassis with integrated solar cells and will be available in two models. The sedan version will cost approximately $18,000 and the economy version will be priced $13,500. 
 
It carries a 7.5-square-metres solar cells surface area and two kinds of batteries: either a 30 kWh battery which allows a range of 250 Km or a 14.4 kWh one which guarantee 120 Km. The batteries will automatically recharge every day, even if it is cloudy, and there is no need to plug them anywhere.

According to the German team the car can reach 140 Kmh, making it also comfortable to drive along highways.&nbsp; 
 
The best of it: cells are self-charging and can add 30 more free kilometres every day while driving. The charging system is also bidirectional, the car can also provide electricity up to 2,000 Watts allowing drivers to recharge their devices. 
 
When it comes to air-purification the team thought definitely out of the box. The entire filtering system is made of a natural moss integrated into the dashboard which requires no care since in draws water directly from the air. The moss filters the majorty of pollutant agents, like fine dusts produced by the industry and combustion engines.

If succesfull this project will be a revolution in the automotive market, becoming an example on how it is possible to do business also saving the environment. 
 
&ldquo;It is not just about the carbon dyoxide coming out from the fuel exhausts, it is also about the gas flow worldwide while extracting oil where gas gets burnt 24X7 rather than getting uses. Every year 400 million tons carbon emissions are fled into the atmosphere&rdquo; says in the vehicle promo one of the three project managers. 
 
The first models will be produced against crowdfunding and are expected to be ready by 2018.
