About this project
The EcoCar Solaire project is converting the remaining cars rapides to an electric motor. In addition, an infrastructure of solar filling stations is being set up, at which the eco cars solaires can recharge their batteries or change their batteries. Eco-Car Solaire aims to eliminate one of the air pollution sources in Dakar by replacing the polluting, fossil fueled vehicles of the mini bus system with environmentally friendly vehicles based on renewable energies. Here, the local economic structures and organizations such as the associations of bus drivers are used and strengthened.
