A prototype of the solar car being produced
YEREVAN (Armenpress)—The creation of the first solar car in Armenia is a project launched by volunteers and enthusiasts who have embarked on this venture for professional pleasure and with a dream to manufacture solar electric vehicles in Armenia.
Deputy Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Hayk Harutyunyan told Armenpress that this is a personal initiative, which aims at creating interest toward solar technologies, in particular, electric transport in Armenia.
“We have divided the first meeting with the interested persons in two parts: the first one is to design and build a solar car from zero, and the second one is to make any old car into a vehicle with electric motors. We want to show that the current cars can be replaced by electric motors, and later we hope that it will become a common practice in Armenia,â€
