@ 2023/07/03Ironically part of a Life-Save project
Two people are dead after the experimental hybrid electric car in which they were travelling exploded on a Naples highway.
The vehicle was a Volkswagen Polo which was testing the possibility of combining an electric motor with batteries powered by solar panels. The prototype used as part of a project called “Life-Save” which given the circumstances was poorly named.
Maria Vittoria Prati and left trainee student Fulvio Filace were associated with the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche research institute and were traveling on the Naples ring road when the explosion took place.
Following the blast, the victims were rushed to the Antonio Cardarelli Hospital with serious burns and died later of their injuries.
