On Feb 24, 2016 the PI solar Car Team showcased solar car at The Great Green Race event at Yas Mall organized by Emirates WILDLIFE Society. There was a lot of interest in the Solar Car project with young students as well as professionals enquiring about the specifications of the car and how it was built. The event was a success for the Solar Team as members of the public interacted with the team and learned more about project.

On Monday Feb 22, PI Solar car Team welcomed Japanese delegate in the solar car workshop and highlighted the collaboration with Tokai University and other industrial companies from Japan.

In cooperation with Dubai Municipality Solar Car Team displayed the Solar Car at Car Free Day Exhibition which was held on 21st February, 2016 under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council.

The PI team presented solar car as state of art technology aimed to minimize car pollution.

Last year this time we placed second in the inaugural ADSC. The car is currently being displayed at the World Future Energy Summit along with other innovative and eco friendly vehicles.

Congratulations to the Nuon Solar Team on winning the World Solar Challenge 2015! It is quite an achievement just being able to complete the entire stretch of 3000+ km of the harsh Australian Outback on solar power. Well done to all the teams that were able to cross the finishing line. This year the competition was one of the best yet with the top 5 leaders in such close proximity until the very end, hopefully the next edition will prove to be even more exciting!

WINNERS: Congratulations Nuon Solar Team, back-to-back Bridgestone World Solar Challenge Champions in 2015!

The team are the first to cross the finish line in Adelaide, after an epic 3,000km journey from Darwin.

Our team members have been closely monitoring the World Solar Challenge updates. We would like to congratulate all the teams on passing static scrutineering and doing so well on their dynamics. There are some seriously good looking cars this year and the different charging configurations were quite interesting to follow. We wish all the teams good luck on their journey across the Outback and as always, may the best team win!

Our car is currently being dispalyed in the ADNEC Exhibition Center at the Power-Gen Middle East event.

With heavy hearts, we announce the withdrawal of our team from the World Solar Challenge. Following our success in the Abu Dhabi Solar Challenge 2015, our team members were quick to recuperate and start preparations for the World Solar Challenge almost immediately. With mock runs, strategy plans and packaging almost complete, we felt our team was in a strong position to make an outstanding debut in the WSC15; but unfortunately due to some unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel our participation this year. As you are all aware we are a fairly new team and this was supposed to be our first international race outside home territory; we underestimated the planning required for finance and logistics. There were delays in securing funds, which led to us missing key shipping deadlines. Rest assured, this experience has taught us an important lesson and we hope to come back stronger in our future races. We would like to thank all our sponsors and followers for their continued support and look forward to achieving new milestones with them in the near future.
