Fiat Phylla: the Italian solar electric car

The new Italian solar electric car has been unveiled as a concept. The Fiat Phylla is the bet of Fiat and several partner companies from the Piedmont region, aimed at building a solar electric vehicle.

The small electric car is designed for short trips and is part of a pilot project to put it into series production. Its main feature is the possibility of self-powering thanks to solar energy. After the jump, the rest of the gallery.

Its presentation will take place in 2010, when it goes into series production. Until now it was common to see hybrid or rechargeable electric prototypes, but this is one of the first solar electric projects.
