2010 "Mariam-cedes" electric car made in Palestine by Mahmoud Mujahid from Hebron. Also called "Mary Seeds".

A very well deserved point goes to oko49 - you are getting close to become a Pro!
Some info:
From the Made in Palestine 2010 brochure:
Green Technology “Mariam-cedes”: An electric car designed and manufactured in Palestine and that works in a new and unique way, accelerating to a maximum speed of 272 km/hour through a three-tiered electric motor. This vehicle is special in having electric brakes as well as the traditional brakes used in most cars, which makes stopping the car more effective. It also uses the phenomenon of inertia to store electric energy.
From a news report:
Mujahid Mahmood (65 years), suffering from physical disabilities, and he is a resident of Hebron, to design and make electric cars in order to assist him in daily activities. He made the electric car using parts from old cars, without receiving any external support from other parties.
In remarks reported by the Palestinian news agency "Wafa", Mujahid said: "Mary Seeds" can run faster up to 130 kilometers per hour, so this became the fastest electric car in the world, being able to carry six people including the driver. "
The car attracted the attention of visitors who ask for a fuller explanation of the Mujahid, including the operation of the car and its ability to compete with other electric cars in the world.
Mujahid-made car is using battery power, but he plans to add solar panels to store energy in electric car which it has a width of not more than 1.5 meters long and three meters of them. (

Built in 1001 nights I presume... ;)

Those top speed claims are mindboggling to say the least ! If it could reach 272 km per day it would already be quite an achievement.

My hat is off to you as well oko94.
Once we had the proper geographic area, I started going through the countries by the alphabet but I skipped Palestine as I never imagined a vehicle could be developed there :lmao:
Once you identified the vehicle, I found also this photo of the rear of the car.

You're welcome ! Palestine was the only place left after kwgibbs and myself had scanned the whole area. Then it took just a few seconds to solve the puzzle.
That rear view is a nice find.
