Metrowest Daily News 8/26/10: Car powered by sun, wind visits Wayland (with video). A young Swiss engineer made a pit stop in town Tuesday in a car powered by sun and wind. Marc Muller is driving around the world, through 30 countries, and has so far made stops in Europe and North Africa as well as New York and the Boston area. It's all part of a trip he expects to take 18 months and touch four continents. Muller said the trip's purpose is twofold: to introduce the car and to learn about carbon dioxide reduction strategies across the globe, part of an effort to lessen problems caused by climate change. The vehicle, which may be the world's first to run solely on solar and wind power, was developed by the nonprofit ICARE Project, headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland. ICARE is an initiative by engineers and economists concerned with environmental issues.
