“We can attribute this success to the STEM technologies which the team developed to endure both the sporting and weather challenges.” − Robert Walker, director of iLanga Solar Cup, on TUT team’s success.
The Tshwane University of Technology emerged victorious at the inaugural 2022, a solar-powered car race that took place last week at the Red Star Raceway in Delmas, Mpumalanga.
This year, TUT took the top honours, racking up 390km during the eight-hour-long endurance challenge, using Bridgestone solar tyres. The TUT team managed to do 93 laps, at an average of 48km per hour, with a maximum speed of 101km per hour. This included a mandatory stop of five minutes every time they swapped drivers.
“Conversations on sustainable transportation are in the spotlight and continue to gain momentum. We are excited to partner with companies such as Bridgestone, who are striving towards sustainability. We look forward to more successes from this partnership,” notes Walker.
