Sunshine on Wheels: 22-Year-Old Asad Abdullah’s Solar School Bus Brightens India’s Roads
In India, 22-year-old Asad Abdullah’s solar school bus has become a true representation of sunshine on wheels, as it brightens the road to education for many students amidst rising energy costs.
In Azamgarh, India, escalating energy prices turned into rising bus fares, putting school attendance for many kids in jeopardy. Observing this, 22-year-old Asad Abdullah conceived a bright solution: a solar-powered school bus to keep the educational journey on track.
Turning Scraps into a Solar Steed
With a vision and a purpose, Asad embarked on a mission. Employing repurposed materials and old lithium-ion cells, he built a solar school bus on a shoestring budget of $150. In a demonstration of sustainable engineering, discarded materials found a new lease of life as a vehicle of hope and sustainability. Moreover, Asad showcased his ingenuity in a video where he built a 7-seater electric bike with an unlimited range, powered by a 48V 30 Ah battery and a solar panel, capable of carrying seven people at once including the rider. This creation further underscores his dedication to green transportation solutions.
Eco-Friendly Mileage
With the ability to cover up to 150 km on a single solar charge, the solar bus stands as a testament to practical and eco-friendly commuting solutions, ensuring consistent school attendance for students.
Spreading Solar Waves
The innovation didn’t stop at Azamgarh’s borders; it traveled to Delhi, where a school placed an order for a similar solar-powered vehicle, mirroring the growing appeal and ripple effect of Asad’s sustainable transit solutions.
