SOLAR POWERED TRANSPORT VEHICLES
Industry background
The transport industry has been among some of the major industries across the world that
is experiencing quite a number of requirements almost on a daily basis in order to make sure that
the needs of various personalities who commute from one point to another are well catered for
(Badewi, 2016). Additionally, the transport industry has played one of the greatest roles in
making sure that people are capable of moving from one place to another within a specific time
frame and with a lot of ease. In as much as the entire industry has been able to act as the pillar of
quite a number of economies, it is also faced by different types of challenges that are majorly
geared towards altering the nature of the surrounding environments (Conforto et al., 2016). This
is a condition that has been majorly contributed by the toxic fumes that are being released by the
vehicles used within the transport industry. Over the past, this has further led to an increased rate
of environmental pollution through the release of toxic substances into the atmosphere together
with high levels of noise pollution that is distributed across different regions within the
surrounding environment (Hanisch & Wald, 2012). Additionally, quite a number of
organizations that are much focused with the nature of the surrounding environment have been
able to come up with various observations within the industry thus making them to place the
entire transport industry across the whole universe to be among the major cause of climatic
change.
Problem/ Opportunity
The pollution problem experienced within the transport industry has led to the emergence of
different conversations regarding how it can be reduced to the minimum level through the

adoption of cheap and efficient modern forms of technology. The environment has suffered
various types of effects due to the release of these substances. This business idea will therefore
put much focus towards the implementation of modern electric transport vehicles that are
powered through the use of solar energy. This will involve the use of modern forms of solar
technology that will ensure an efficient mode of operation of the vehicles when it comes to their
movement from one locality to the other. Different experts will be involved in the
implementation of the whole idea where analysis will be carried out through different stages to
ensure that various loop holes are easily identified at an early stage thus preventing any
problematic situations that are likely to emerge at an advanced stage of the whole idea (Zheng et
al., 2016). Moreover, solar panels will be appropriately installed on the roof tops of the transport
vehicles to make sure that that they are capable of gaining access to sunlight as much as much as
possible. At the same time, the idea is majorly focused towards offering a clean, cheap and
affordable form of energy that will be able to carter for various needs within the transport
system. It is an idea that is more of innovation within the renewable energy sector an is focused
towards bringing on one of the most essential changes so far.
High level solution
There is a high level solution that is entailed within the entire idea and it majorly involves
the implementation of efficient solar panels together with highly powered batteries that are
capable of running the vehicles for quite a long time (DeFillippi & Sydow, 2016). Moreover, the
engine of the transport vehicles will be built in an advanced and modern status that will enable it
to fully function without producing any unnecessary sounds that are likely to cause noise
pollution within the surrounding environment where transport operations are being carried out. It
is a technology that aims towards replacing the internal combustion engines whose major effects

are majorly the production of toxic fumes into the atmosphere together with making high levels
of noise that are capable of affecting the environment in a negative way (Gasik, 2011).
Business model
The whole idea also focuses towards making money and generating a reliable level of revenue
that is capable of contributing towards the emergence of quite a number of positive outcomes
(Söderlund, 2014). Due to this, money will be generated by coming up with different types of
spacious vehicles that will then be placed across different regions in major towns and developing
urban centers. There will be a highly developed and secure website for the whole business where
clients will be allowed to make their respective bookings where the price will majorly rely on the
destinations that the vehicles will be going (Hodgson & Cicmil, 2017). Moreover, the transport
vehicles will also consist of different classes that will be able to accommodate various clients
who tend to originate from different social economic status. The classes will also consist of
different prices that will be charged in relation to the services being offered. This majorly aims
towards attracting customers originating from different backgrounds.
Gap analysis
The current performance that involves the use of vehicles that operate under internal combustion
engines is not capable of operating in an efficient manner in terms of the environmental concern
(Rose, 2013). The use of solar energy will therefore come up with a more advanced system of
technology that will be operating quietly without making any noise and at the same time it will
minimize the emission of toxic fumes that are likely to pollute the environment. This will
therefore make sure that the gap that exists in this situation will be adequately solved without
encountering any unexpected barriers during times of operations.
