Abstract

Increasing energy consumption and growing environmental concerns have heightened the demand for sustainable energy solutions. In response to this demand, the concept of “zero energy” emerges, offering a comprehensive approach encompassing energy conservation, ecological sustainability, the battle against climate change, energy independence, and economic efficiency. This study presents the concept of a ‘Zero-Energy Vehicle’ for the first time in the literature. It explains the essential criteria for a vehicle to qualify as a Zero-Energy Vehicle. This study also aims to evaluate the suitability of CERYAN, an L6e class electric vehicle with the zero energy concept. CERYAN adopts Zero-Energy Vehicle principles by integrating solar panels, energy-efficient design, and fiberglass technology. This study highlights the potential of the zero energy concept to provide environmentally friendly and energy-efficient solutions in the field of transportation.
