UKM-CAR3 Test

We created a temporary frame to test our car system previously. The outcome made us really satisfied with our system. Our temporary car could run fast with the connection that we did. Our last year team's motor and battery were used in order to understand the connection system without spoiling the new items. Fortunately, we did not spoil even the old system but learned to connect the solar car system accurately makes it run smoothly.

After our car was ready to be tested, our technical leader was the first person to drive the temporary car proudly. We just tested our car within a small distance because it was just a temporary frame car without the body on it. Have a look to our video at our fan page on facebook. Video

Our car body is almost complete its finishing line and expected to arrive UKM on 30th of June 2011. Hope that our real car could run better than the temporary frame car.

Progress of UKM-CAR3

UKM-CAR3 Tuah team is working with full effort to complete the car for Shell Eco-marathon 2011. As the competition draws closer, our works are getting tougher since we are approaching the day to complete our car. Recently, some of our team members from Malacca just arrived back to UKM to report on our progress and be replaced by members from UKM. In order to complete the car body fabrication process, our team members worked day and night in the factory with the guide from experienced engineer to ensure our car body meets its needed mechanical properties perfectly. Here are some photos of our team members working in the factory.







Our car body is done with the fabrication. Now, its the time for technical and electrical tasks to be carried out. Hope all the tasks could be completed as planned.
