Louis Palmer

Louis Palmer (born 1971 in Budapest) is a Swiss keynote speaker, global environmental adventurer, and "Solar Pioneer".

This part of educating the audience and inspiring people to change their consumption behaviour into a reflected awareness of the environment is of great importance to him.

[citation needed] In 2004, with the help of sponsors and technical support, Palmer began building a solar-powered car called the Solartaxi.

For the technical expertise, he worked together with the Hochschule für Technik und Architektur Luzern and three other Swiss universities.

Palmer invited four teams to enter the competition,[6] setting vehicle criteria that were quite concrete: They had to be propelled by an electric motor, they had to be able to drive a certain distance in a certain time, and they had to be able to carry at least two passengers.

[11] Together with his wife, Dr. Julianna Priskin, Palmer co-founded the Switzerland Explorer" with the world's first 100% electric tour bus.
