Why Solar Cola? Founder Nelson Kruschandl explains: “We are a new company producing energy drinks using natural ingredients - kola nut (which has a history going back thousands of years) and raw cane sugar for instance. A percentage of our profits goes to fund vital research into alternative technologies such as solar powered land and sea transport and in keeping world leaders informed on vital environmental issues.
“There are five flavours - the traditional energy drink Solar Cola in the iconic Earth can. A natural berry flavoured drink with orange, Solar citrus with vitamins and now Solar Spice with cinnamon.
“We are looking for distributors in Australia, Canada, China, Europe, Japan, India, Nepal, Russia, South Africa, South America UK and the USA. Negotiations are in progress in the Middle East and North Africa.
“According to researchandmarkets.com the UK drink market alone is worth £53.5 billion a year - representing 7% of total consumer spending. The new Earth bottle is to launch very soon. Our aim is to meet the needs of the mainstream market with a natural product and push the boat out, if you’ll excuse the pun, when it comes to performance.
“We already have two Solar racing teams, one from the UK the other a Swiss French team. Check out <1> for news on the music scene too.
“The Solar navigator is an electric boat which began as a catamaran but has now been rebuilt from the hull up. We have already crossed the Atlantic but still have a way to go in terms of demonstrating how solar power is kind to the world. In one sense we are all Solar Navigators and we need to leave this world as we found it.”
