Shahzad Alam, a 23-year-old from Nepal, has developed a hybrid car prototype. The vehicle is designed to operate using either a petrol engine or an electric motor.
Alam states that this dual-power system aims to lower fuel consumption and increase overall efficiency. NASA Nepal and other organizations have recognized the project.
Technical details regarding the car, including its electric range, fuel consumption figures, and testing results, remain unavailable. The vehicle has not yet undergone public road testing.
It is currently unclear how the car will perform in regular driving conditions. Further technical evaluation is required to determine its roadworthiness. This project represents a creative effort in local engineering at a time when interest in alternative energy is rising.
