A solar-powered car cruised along the road on a sunny day in China.

A student from Shandong Jiaotong University drove the innovative white vehicle in Jinan, Shandong, on October 11.

Footage shows the man inside the compact cockpit, which features a small windshield for protection. The vehicle has an extremely low chassis, with its wheels barely visible.

Three solar panels are fixed to the roof of the four-wheeler, with a slogan on the side reading 'Solar Car - New Journey No. 2.'

The filmer said: 'The car was so cool, especially knowing that it is powered by solar energy.'

In 1955, General Motors employee William G. Cobb invented the Sunmobile, the first solar-powered car, which was displayed at the Chicago Powerama convention.
