“ECO-Pedal” Self-Sustainable Vehicle with Incentives for pedaling

Descubre el vehículo autosostenible "E-Pedal" de Maedcore, que combina energía solar y pedaleo para un transporte público más ecológico.

At Maedcore, we focus on developing technological solutions that not only optimize efficiency, but also promote sustainability. One of our most innovative projects is the “E-Pedal” Eco Vehicle, designed for self-sustainable public transportation. This autonomous vehicle combines solar energy with a pedaling system by passengers, creating an ecological and efficient alternative for urban transportation. In addition, we have developed a complementary app that encourages passengers to pedal through a rewards system.

The Challenge: Create Self-Sustainable Public Transportation

The main challenge of this project was to design a vehicle that could generate its own energy and be self-sustainable in its operation. The goal was to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and the carbon footprint of public transportation, without compromising passenger comfort or vehicle operational efficiency.

Applied Technology: Solar Energy and Passenger Pedaling

The “E-Pedal” vehicle design is based on two main forms of power generation:

  1. Solar energy: The vehicle is equipped with solar panels integrated into its structure, which capture energy from the sun during the day to power the electrical system and autonomous motors. This allows the vehicle to operate cleanly and efficiently, even on long journeys.

  2. Passenger pedaling: To complement the solar energy system, we have incorporated a pedaling system inside the vehicle. Passengers can pedal while seated, generating additional energy to propel the vehicle and reduce the load on the electric motors.

Incentive App: Encouraging Passenger Participation

To encourage passengers to pedal, we have developed a rewards app that integrates with the vehicle system. Passengers who pedal generate points that they can later redeem for goods and services, such as discounts at local stores, tickets to events, or even credits for public transportation. This creates a gamification system that encourages active participation and promotes sustainable habits among users.

Benefits of the Eco Vehicle "E-Pedal"

The “E-Pedal” vehicle project offers multiple benefits for both the environment, passengers and cities:

  1. Reduction of carbon emissions: By taking advantage of solar energy and the effort of passengers, the vehicle operates with a minimal carbon footprint, helping to combat urban pollution.

  2. Self-sustaining public transport: The combination of solar and human energy sources ensures that the vehicle can operate without the need for constant recharging or additional fuel.

  3. Promoting healthy habits: The pedaling system not only generates energy, but also promotes an active lifestyle among passengers.

  4. Sustainability incentives: The rewards app encourages users to actively contribute to the vehicle’s energy generation, which reinforces the commitment to green transportation.

Applications of the "E-Pedal" Vehicle in Urban Transportation

The “E-Pedal” vehicle has broad potential to transform public transportation in urban environments. Among its main applications are:

  • Public transportation in urban areas: Ideal for metropolitan areas where the aim is to reduce vehicle congestion and carbon emissions.

  • Transportation in tourist areas: The pedaling system offers an interactive and ecological experience for tourists, improving the sustainability image of cities.

  • Alternative to traditional vehicles: The autonomous and self-sustaining design of the vehicle makes it an attractive option compared to traditional buses and trams that depend on fossil fuels.

Autonomous Development and Security

The “E-Pedal” vehicle is also designed with autonomous capabilities, reducing the need for drivers and optimizing operational efficiency. Equipped with advanced sensor systems, the vehicle can safely navigate urban streets, detecting obstacles and adjusting its trajectory in real time to avoid collisions.
