Achievements

HYBRID VEHICLE 2016

ROYAL BULLZ – Building Hybrid Car Team Captain –Ashish Kumar Dahiya Vice-Captain– S Praveen Kumar

ROYAL BULLZ, Official Hybrid team of S.A Engineering College, Chennai, India is developing a Parallel Hybrid-Electric race car(that would run on fuel as well as from batteries) to showcase our concern towards efficient, emission less cars for a cleaner future.

ROYAL BULLZ is a Hybrid Vehicle team with a mission of encrypting our team with technical as well as practical knowledge of manufacturing and building up a Hybrid Vehicle. The mission is accomplished by the ambition of our team to compete globally. The motto of our team is “RISE AND FIGHT BACK”.

SOLAR ACERS

The objective of our team, SOLAR ACERS, is to design and fabricate an innovative solar vehicle that is endurable and reliable. We have divided our team into various groups to maximize the efficiency of our team. The reports of these groups are integrated into our final design report.

This solar car is built with the idea of exploring alternate and renewable sources of energy. We have designed it to meet the requirements of the ESVC competition and to be as efficient as possible.

It must be strong and durable taking always in account the weight distribution for a better performance. With a limited amount of power, the focus is primarily on the power to weight ration of the vehicle. The only means to improve this critical parameter is to reduce the overall vehicle weight. Great care is taken in laying out the chassis.

Benefits
  • Monocrystalline cells have the highest efficiency of any cells on the market under standard operating conditions.
  • Their high efficiency means they have the smallest footprint for their output, so you can maximize power output when roof space is limited.
