SARASOTA, FL – Cruise Car, Inc. showcased its solar electric hybrid vehicles on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. on Earth Day, April 22 to demonstrate the ecological and economical benefits of operating solar-powered, low-speed vehicles.
"What could be better than Earth Day to show people just how much we benefit from the sun," said Greg Hyde, spokesman for Cruise Car. "Solar energy is rapidly growing in its potential for providing alternative energy solutions and we are here to show people how they can use the free resources of the sun for low-speed vehicle transportation."
Cruise Car provides a full line of unique 2-14 passenger solar electric transport solutions ideal for planned communities, golf courses, college campuses, municipalities, military bases, corporate parks, resorts, federal agencies, and all fleet vehicle owners that seek to improve the efficiency of their transportation systems.
"Cruise Car's entire mission is to provide solar powered transportation where it makes sense...from a family NEV (neighborhood electric vehicle) to an entire fleet of maintenance vehicles," said Hyde.
