The director of the Royal Industrial Trading Company helped build the vehicle with the aim of utilizing the abundance of sunshine in the region. The roof of the car is covered in solar panels, which enable the sun's energy to be absorbed and converted into electricity. Engineers involved in the project say it took only two month to design and build the vehicle, which was primarily assembled from available materials at a local factory at an estimated cost of USD 5,000 per vehicle. http://news.linktv.org/videos/saudi-arabia-to-invest-110-billion-in-solar-energy?start=0 Bloomberg reports say Saudi Arabia is investing $110 billion to generate a third of its power needs by 2032.
