World’s First Solar-Powered Bus

A bus by the name of “Tindo” has debuted in Australia today. This free-ride, air-conditioned 42-passenger bus is powered by 11 zebra sodium-nickel batteries that can provide the big green bus 124 miles worth of travel on a full charge.

“Tindo” still has to be plug-in due to the fact the lack of space on the roof of the bus to supply the amount of solar panels it needs to fully charge the batteries. The docking station is currently being retro fitted with solar panels to be use to charge up “Tindo” when its docking.
