It’s time to see young and innovative minds approaching the world with their fresh and youthful initiatives. Now lately in the turf of solar powered vehicles a further name, which is going to be impressed, is of University of Iowa Solar Club as the students of university has remarkably instigated an energy efficient solar bike on the roads.

This ecofriendly pollution free bike designed by a collegiate group comprising ten to twenty students can actually revolutionize the whole world of city bikes as of its superb green eminence. The only disheartening facet of this bike is its slow and sluggish speed which comes up to be somewhere around 50 mph only. In today’s viable and hasty world such a lethargic vehicle would not be able to survive for a long time until or unless some relevant perfection is attained in its speed front.

Under the headship of Daniel Rogge, an industrial engineer, the group deems to achieve the target speed of 62 mph in imminent future. Although this newly commenced solar innovation exhibited in yellow color appears to be a weird creation yet it would be barely defied by anyone in this young and modernized horde.

Intended for optimal consumption of fuels in vehicles; Nissan latest creation of Eco pedal aims at facilitating drivers in keeping check on their fuel usage rate. An advanced processor system embedded inside the car would decide on the best requisite fuel usage and provide feedback to the driver instantly as and when he crosses that marked limit.

A display panel meant for feedback has also been integrated inside the car which would show green for fine condition but would start flashing when the system senses a speeding up and would ultimately indicates amber light once the driver has exceeded that defined parameters. A study confirms that this eco system can enhance up to maximum of 5-10%*1 vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

This eco driving indicator system would be of immense aid in harking back teenagers and learning drivers as well to keep their car’s speed in control. This recently commenced green technique could also be associated with collision avoidance radar systems being fitted in a number of cars for shoving aside drivers indulged in stalking on the road. Furthermore, the system can either be put in use or kept inoperative depending upon the driver’s requirements and driving circumstances.

Nissan is scheduling to put on this green product in market within a year period i.e. around 2009. I believe this would be indeed a revolutionary launch in the field of automobile industry.
