Solar innovation triumph: Collaboration between our organization and Pepper Motion secures Busplaner Innovation Award 2023.
In the rapidly evolving world of sustainable mobility, Sono Group N.V. and Pepper Motion GmbH are making significant strides. Listed on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol SEVCF, Sono Group is on a mission to revolutionise mobility by making every vehicle solar.
Their solar technology, designed to contribute to climate-friendly mobility solutions, can be seamlessly integrated into various vehicle architectures, including buses. This innovative technology is expected to reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions in vehicles, a crucial step towards a world without fossil fuels, a vision shared by both organisations.
Pepper Motion GmbH, specialising in electrifying transportation, offers solutions for used and new commercial vehicles. With offices in Denkendorf/Bavaria, Garching near Munich, Paderborn, and Vienna, and representation in France, Italy, and Poland by sales partners, they are ISO 9001 certified, ensuring operational safety in accordance with international automotive industry standards.
One of their collaborative projects, the Solar Bus Kit, won first place in the "Air conditioning, heating and battery management" category at the busplaner Innovation Award 2023. Installed on an electrified Mercedes-Benz Citaro bus in November 2022, the Solar Bus Kit's solar modules provide a peak value of 1.3 kWp for the bus's 24-volt system, enabling efficient use of solar energy. The test phase of this Solar Bus Kit marks a significant milestone in the ongoing effort to promote electromobility.
The Solar Bus Kit is expected to make Pepper Motion GmbH's electrification solution even more sustainable, contributing to significant CO2 savings. The integration of Sono Group's solar technology aims to extend vehicle range and reduce fuel costs.
While specific details on an "Innovative Solar Bus Kit" may not be available, the broader impact of solar technology on electromobility is clear. Solar panels, such as the Aptos Solar 460W panel with a high efficiency of 21.26%, are becoming increasingly efficient, thanks to advanced technologies like PERC and half-cut cell designs. Companies like Aptos Solar and REC Solar are leading the way in innovative solar panel manufacturing.
The transition to electromobility is supported by these technological advancements. Solar energy can contribute to charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, supporting a sustainable mobility ecosystem. Companies like Infineon Technologies are advancing electromobility through advanced power semiconductors, on-board chargers, and battery management systems.
