Glow in the Dark Bike Lanes are Being Tested in Poland - Solar-Powered


Solar-powered, glow in the dark bike lanes are currently being tested near Lidzbark Warminski in the north of Poland. When fully charged, the synthetic material can provide up to 10 hours of light according to the material’s creators, TPA Instytut BadaƄ Technicznych Sp. z o.o.


The project, while similar in concept to Studio Roosegaarde’s Starry Night Bike Lane, differs in the technology used, as Studio Roosegaarde’s was LED-powered and temporary.

The project is still in the testing phase and it will be interesting to see if the material proves viable for bike paths and other public uses.

"Credo E-Bone" Eco Concept for Public Transport




This interesting concept of eco bus “Credo E-Bone” was designed by Hungarian designer Peter Simon. This zero-emission bus runs on hydrogen fuel cells and lithium batteries to add sustainability to the public transportation. Powered by four in-wheel electric motors “Credo E-Bone” carries its power sources on its roof. The shell of the bus has been made from lightweight composite plastic that resembles a skeleton structure. Such lightweight construction makes the concept energy-efficient. Hope soon such eco bus will be significant part in eco travel.
