Soleva - Solar Electric Van

At SOLEVA, our team of 9 young and passionate engineers and professionals has set for a unique project: we will show that it is possible to have a camper van that runs 100% on renewable energy produced on-board, and hence travel independent of any infrastructure and without any emission and noise pollution.

On top of that, we’ll demonstrate that sustainable transition is about adapting and reusing the vehicles that we already have.
To do so, we are going to convert an old Peugeot J9 from 1987, by removing the petrol engine and tank and replacing them with an electric motor and a pack of refurbished batteries. 

On its roof, we’re going to install an innovative and deployable solar system of 5.8kWp, which provides 120km of range in 5 hours of sun, including the power for living.
