Students from the University of Waterloo have created a conceptual design for the Midnight Sun XII, a solar car that was created to contribute to new possibilities to the future of travel.
It is known by most that solar is an emerging industry as brands and governments look to more environmentally friendly methods of production, consumption, and living in general. Solar transport is a huge part of that shift, and the students who designed the Midnight Sun XII concept are hoping to contribute to this industry.
The conceptual solar car has a futuristic design that runs on solar power, and the students are hoping to build a prototype to compete in the 2018 American Solar Challenge in Omaha, Nebraska.
