Challenge

Establish and grow a competitive solar car racing team at Cambridge University to compete for the top award at the World Solar Challenge and demonstrate the incredible potential of solar- powered electric vehicles.

Solution

Implement SOLIDWORKS Education Edition solutions to spur solar car development, facilitate team collaboration and communication, and advance team growth and competitiveness.

Results

  • Established top solar car racing team in U.K.

  • Improved team’s performance at competitions

  • Demonstrated cutting-edge sustainable engineering technologies

  • Supported community outreach activities

The whole project would be impossible without an easy-to-learn CAD system, and SOLIDWORKS has allowed us to build upon the work of past teams to grow, improve, and become more competitive.
