Our impact

A concrete environmental impact

Soleva is not just a vehicle: it is a demonstration that mobility can be more sober, circular and powered by the sun.

Emissions reduction

Soleva compared its prototype with electric vehicles and conventional diesel vans on the European market. Its comparison reports 81% lower CO₂ emissions than a conventional diesel van when retrofitting and charging entirely with solar power, including the embodied energy of the batteries and electric motor.

Circular economy

The retrofit extends the life of a 1987 vehicle rather than building a new one, avoiding the impact of industrial production.

Local, renewable energy

The energy of the journey is produced directly by the sun thanks to the on-board photovoltaic panels.

Raising awareness

Beyond the technology, Soleva shares its learnings with the public, schools and institutions.
