In cooperation with Dubai Municipality Solar Car Team displayed the Solar Car at Car Free Day Exhibition which was held on 21st February, 2016 under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council. Since 2010 the Dubai Municipality has organized its pioneering annual environmental event: “Car Free Day”. This initiative was created to raise public awareness about the impacts on air quality in the Emirate caused by the increasing emissions from cars. The PI team presented solar car as state of art technology aimed to minimize car pollution.

On 20th Feb, 2016 the solar car was presented in Al Shabab Club and technical presentation was given to female athletics students who got inspired about the project. Dr. Fahad Almaskari have explained to them the fundamental concepts and technologies involve in the project. The presentation aimed to highlight the importance of technology development and the use for renewable energy in Transportation.

Last year this time we placed second in the inaugural ADSC. The car is currently being displayed at the World Future Energy Summit along with other innovative and eco friendly vehicles.

Congratulations to the Nuon Solar Team on winning the World Solar Challenge 2015! It is quite an achievement just being able to complete the entire stretch of 3000+ km of the harsh Australian Outback on solar power. Well done to all the teams that were able to cross the finishing line. This year the competition was one of the best yet with the top 5 leaders in such close proximity until the very end, hopefully the next edition will prove to be even more exciting!

WINNERS: Congratulations Nuon Solar Team, back-to-back Bridgestone World Solar Challenge Champions in 2015!

The team are the first to cross the finish line in Adelaide, after an epic 3,000km journey from Darwin.

Our team members have been closely monitoring the World Solar Challenge updates. We would like to congratulate all the teams on passing static scrutineering and doing so well on their dynamics. There are some seriously good looking cars this year and the different charging configurations were quite interesting to follow. We wish all the teams good luck on their journey across the Outback and as always, may the best team win!
