ISLAMABAD: A vehicle that runs on solar energy has been put on display by a company in Blue Area.

The firm is considering using such vehicles as taxis once the metro bus project is inaugurated.

These vehicles will be parked at various bus stops of the metro service and will provide pick and drop service to people intending to travel on the metro buses.

Moreover these cost-efficient vehicles can be used for travelling within the city.

The company’s owner, Mr Azad, has also introduced solar lights and other equipment that runs on solar and wind energies.

Last year he installed lights on Jinnah Avenue which relied on wind energy generated from vehicles traveling on the road.
