Ghanaian university constructs a solar powered 4x4 vehicle

Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana has constructed a 4 by 4 solar powered vehicle, reports Citi FM.

The university’s environmentally friendly automobile was created in partnership with the Technical University of Munich.

It is a revolutionary innovation that will make the university as the first to design a solar powered 4 by 4 vehicle in Africa.

The campus of KNUST.

The solar powered vehicle is still undergoing tests and fine tuning to bring it up to standards according to the KNUST’ vice chancellor Professor Kwasi Obiri-Danso.

The university is calling for more funding on research to enable it to come up with more cutting-edge technologies.

The most recent announcement of a solar-powered bus was in February last year when a company in Uganda launched what they said was the continent’s first.
