Team History
2023/24
In 2024, the team completed SEM-02, and our marketing team hosted our first ever vehicle unveiling event! It was a very exciting year with lots of manufacturing taking place. Unfortunately, due to the Shell Eco Marathon taking place during the team’s exam season, we were not able to bring the car to competition. However, as the team progresses, the decision was made to change competitions and to design SEM-03 for the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge and iLumen European Solar Challenge.
