Ivory Coast looks to solar vehicles to replace bush taxis

Hi-tech, cheap and quiet. The Ivorian resort of Jacqueville just outside Abidjan is betting on solar-powered three-wheelers  to replace traditional but noisy and dirty bush taxis.

“It’s cheaper and relaxing!” says local trader Sandrine Tetelo, of the Chinese-made “Saloni” or “Antara” tricycles, which could eventually spell the end for old-school “woro-woro” four-wheelers as Jacqueville looks to make itself Ivory Coast’s premier eco city.
