After having created a prototype used for car races, the Sicilian team wants to launch an electric car on the market, which can charge with the use of solar power only.<\/span><\/h3>\n

It’s called Archimede, runs completely on solar energy and is among the most efficient low-cost cars that have ever been designed. The roadster is made in Sicily \u2013 a region that certainly doesn\u2019t lack sun \u2013 and consumes a little more than a pod coffee maker or a toaster. \u201cArchimede Solar Car\u201d was designed based on a dream of race car enthusiast Enzo Di Bella<\/b>. The bet was won and the dream came true also thanks to the fantastic team he managed to put together within a few years: friends, volunteers, and 37 students of the Industrial and Technical Institute Enrico Fermi in Syracuse and the collaboration of the department of Industrial Engineering of the University of<\/span>\u00a0Catania.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>An ambitious project – especially as far as the economic investments are concerned \u2013 that some sponsoring companies shared as well. These include <\/span>Moak<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, which provides the team with the necessary energy to be able to take on the long working and studying hours. The founder of Futuro Solare, Enzo Di Bella, tells us about this journey towards the future<\/span>.<\/p>\n
