ABSTRACT:
In an automobile having a primary engine fueled by a primary source of fossil fuel energy, the primary engine and an auxiliary motor device are drivably connected to one or more ground engagement wheels of the automobile. A solar energy collecting device is mounted on the automobile for exposure to solar energy, and has an energy supply mechanism that routes energy collected by the solar energy collecting device to the auxiliary motor device. A control mechanism operates so that either energy is routed from the energy supply device to the auxiliary motor device, or energy is prevented from being routed to the auxiliary motor device.
