Students of Pakistan Navy Engineering College (PNEC-NUST) unveiled their energy-efficient concept car Evo-X in Karachi.
Envision PNEC’s 30-member team will participate with its vehicle in the Shell Eco-Marathon 2023, scheduled to be held on April 12 next year in Indianapolis, United States.
They have participated almost every year in the competition, which is a major international stage for universities and academic institutions to showcase and compete in the world’s most fuel-efficient cars, with participants from more than 60 countries. Hundreds of teams are participating.
The vehicle is designed with a focus on ultra-efficient and environment-friendly concept. It will compete in the prototype battery electric category.
The car can achieve a distance of 220km/KWh on a unit of electricity at a speed of 25km/h.
Additionally, the electric vehicle has a body made up of glass fibre built with an electric motor of 780W, which is operational on 48V. It can rotate in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction by reversing the motor’s power wires.
The unveiling ceremony of the car took place at PNEC-NUST, Karachi, where the audience appreciated the work and considered it an essential need in the current condition of global warming.
Pakistan is participating in the Shell Eco-Marathon since 2009 in Berlin.
