- Peugeot 5001 „SOOL“
the first solar powered Peugeot
The completely new and revolutionary Peugeot SOOL combines features, that have never been
found before in just one vehicle until now:
PLEASURABLE:
The SOOL is a huge pleasure to drive because of the unique driving position behind one big glass
shield, that offers a unlimited range of view and a sensational driving experience. On top of that the
driver's seat is mounted on a pole by a special link, that enables the seat to move in all directions.
This combination of open view plus movable seat gives the driver a thrilling driving pleasure, that
until now could only be experienced when driving a motor cycle. The steering and all other commands
are done by the two joy sticks, that are mounted on the seat. Therefore also the driving position could
not be more comfortable and relaxing.
LIVELY:
Since the SOOL is based on a Formula 1 chassis, it has driving qualities that come close to these of
a racing car. The fact that the SOOL is extremely light, has relatively big wheels and is very
aerodynamic makes him not just fast, but also very maneuverable.
EFFICIENT:
The SOOL consists mainly out of solar panels. This solar panels feed the powerful battery
that is located under the back wheels. The big glass shield covering the solar panels not only acts
as a shelter for the driver, but it also enhances the sun light that passes through it and then hit the
solar panels .This battery may also be charged conventionally.
ACCESSIBLE:
Since the SOOL is covered by nothing but glass, it gives a very accessible feeling from within and from
without. Also the dimensions of the SOOL are very small, which makes it easy for him to access
even the smallest parking spaces. The perfect vehicle for the city too.
SIMPLE:
Although the SOOL offers more features than any other car in the past, it could not be more simple.
There is nothing at all on the SOOL, that doesn't serve a purpose. This makes the maintenance of
the SOOL as simple as possible too. The solar panels require virtually no maintenance at. The battery
is low maintenance too and could still be replaced very easily and cheaply.
ECOLOGICAL:
All the above mentioned features make the SOOL extremely ecological. It makes perfect use of the
solar energy and causes no emissions at all (not even noise).
So welcome to the future, welcome to the SOOL, the first car that unites all the features, that a
vehicle should have.
