SERVe - a solar energy car - made in India

Petrol / Diesel / Benzene as source of energy for Cars are now being replaced by Solar energy. The unlimited solar energy is now being used to run cars. A group of 27 students of Manipal Institute of Technology has invented a car which is running from solar energy. The car may run at the speed of 60 Km / hr. The project was completed in collaboration with Tata Power Solar (TPS) .


Students have done a commendable job and it will motivate other Indian students or students across the globe to manufacture car with higher speed and at a lesser cost. The most interesting part is , the car is enabled to store solar energy even without direct access to sunlight. The car is manufactured at one tenth of the cost of similar car invented in the other parts of the world.


The car is known as SERVe  and is gearing up to enter in the South African Solar (Sasol) Challenge, 2016 , an eight day endurance event covering 12,374.5 km and powered only by the Sun, the winner determined by distance covered.


Automobile companies must grab the opportunity to reinvent such car with better economics and with better efficiency. Their efficient scientist and engineer can make this car better.
