Dr István Dőry Dr. Dőry István

Dr István Dőry is a physicist and currently a lecturer at EDUTUS University. More than 10 years ago, he and his wife moved from the capital to Egyházasfalu, a small village in the western region of the country. They deliberately chose a place where there are no major roads but good train transport – and where they can live a sustainable lifestyle. István has been involved as a climate coordinator (i.e. community organiser and leader) for 6 seasons in the EnergyCommunities programme (a residential energy-saving programme) organised by GreenDependent. He is also the creator and builder of the SunSnail (NapCsiga), which works as an independent solar-energy vehicle, meaning that it uses only the electricity that the mounted solar panels produce. SunSnail is capable of transporting 1-2 people and a 300-400 kg load and its designed cruising speed is 25 km/h.
