The impact of creating
There's nothing more valuable than creating something new. Through developing solar powered cars and competing in some of the world's biggest solar racing competitions, Nordlys NTNU aims to educate the best engineers in Norway, and showcase optimism and innovation in a world in dire need of sustainable energies.
Last week we competed in our first competition, the ilumen European Solar Challenge. We completed 120 laps throughout the race, totaling 480 km, powered only by solar energy. This is a huge milestone for us. We have learned a lot and are excited to continue to get better. With Belgium behind us, we now set our sights on the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia next year.
We would like to thank our sponsors and partners for their invaluable support during this project, and NTNU for backing us along the way. Their belief in us made it possible to take Nordlys from the drawing board to the racetrack. We also want to thank every team member for the long hours and hard work that went into the car and the race.
