Are you up for the EV Racing Challenge?
Indo Asian Solar Challenge
Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, India had organised the Electric Bike Racing Challenge and is now organizing the Indo Asian Solar (car) Challenge (IASC) 2016 both great platform for the students of the University to exhibit their skill and knowledge. This is also a great platform to get experience in wining potential investors or Venture Capitalist. The university has also made good effort in publicity and providing a good prize money (Rs 100,000 to 500,000) as an incentive for the winners. The latest challenge is the Indo Asian Solar Challenge 2016.
Today we at PlugInCaroo ask some soul searching questions both from the students and the faculty. With all respect please note that we are not complaining about LPU nor about the students but just asking if we could all together improve the already set standards… not to follow how the solar races happen elsewhere in the world… but to set our own standards which other International Colleges would want to meet?

Audi Q3 – Zero Navigation-Navigation option doesn’t work in the India-spec cars. Audi has to tie-up with a local map provider but has it?
Come to think of it… the car cost Rs 31 Lakhs but doesnt even come with a basic navigation system… something that is available for free even in Chinese Android smart phones. Something so simple could have saved 3 lives that night – two who died and she -the living dead.

Tindo – the Solar Battery-charged Bus
The Tindo solar battery-charged bus (“Tindo”, Kaurna word for sun) is an experimental battery electric vehicle that operates in Adelaide, Australia. It is the world’s first solar bus, operating since 2007. It uses 100% solar power, is equipped with a regenerative braking system and air conditioning and can carry up to 40 persons, 25 of whom are seated. The bus itself is not equipped with solar panels. It receives electric power from a photovoltaic system on Adelaide’s central bus station. Hailed as the world’s first bus service powered exclusively by solar power, the bus service connects Adelaide City and North Adelaide as part of Adelaide City’s sustainable transport agenda. The Tindo is part of the 98A and 98C bus service (until recently known as the Adelaide Connector) which is offered as free public transport.
