Nelson Emeka Develops Prototype Truck Powered By Solar Energy Or By Waste

Nelson Emeka has developed a prototype truck that can either be powered by solar energy or by the waste that they carry.

According to him:

I laugh at myself when I see some of these my early works because they tends to look childish a times to me but the truth is that, that was where my my journey began.”
