Czeers MK1


Czeers MK1 is a prototype for a solar powered speedboat that can hit 30 knots. Developed by the Dutch-based Delft Technical University Solarboat Team Czeers MK1 uses the sun to power its engines. The boat will come in shades of carbon fiber, solar cell and orange leather trims. The boat features photovoltaic cells on almost all horizontal surfaces and an LCD touch-screen control system. It measures 10 meters in length, and 14 square meters of solar panels and an 80kw electric motor are incorporated in it. Only 4-8 boats will be built each year.
