Cyclo was a popular means of transport to Vietnamese many years ago. In many places of Vietnam, cyclo is still a unique culture symbol. However, cycling cyclos are really tired, especially on hot days.

Three students from Da Nang invented cyclos powered by solar energy which help drivers save energy. At starting point, they didn?t have money to implement their project of making a new cyclo. Therefore, they decided to eat noodle for months to afford their brainchild. It took them a few months to construct their cyclo.

The energy is mainly supplied by solar panels stuck at the top of the cyclo. However, in rainy days, the vehicle still can operate by charging electricity. And when their cyclo version was introduced, it received a lot of praise from many people. The local authorities highly appreciated their invention because cyclo running by solar energy is friendly to the environment and is highly applicable in tourism.

However, the students haven?t been content with the first product. They are trying to improve the appearance more beautiful. In the near future, Danang will apply this kind of cyclo to tourism service sector.

We should really respect and thank great effort and contribution of such talented youths!
