The UPCT Solar Team competes in Rotterdam with an improved prototype (20/05/2015)

The UPCT Solar Team has improved its prototype and compete in this week's Shall Eco-marathon Europe, which takes place from tomorrow in Rotterdam circuit with over two hundred teams from Europe and around the world.

It is the second time the team participates in this race and, as team leader, Miguel Angel Garcia, this year "will for all."

Similarly, the teacher who coordinates the team, Antonio Guerrero, who has been very satisfied with the work done by the students think.

"This year has improved the team at competition level, I'm very happy with the technical development of the work and hope to make a good race."

Among the new features this year include several improvements to the site, such as a change in car transmission powertrain to make this not work forcefully and to make it more powerful.

Also, the solar panel is smaller this year.

Moreover, this time the UPCT Solar Team has the advantage of having tested the car at the Circuit de Cartagena.

"Last year was not able to do these tests and the other, so we are sure that the car runs and we'll get rate," says Garcia.

One requirement of this competition is to make the team itself to develop the model of motor control.

"We know it works perfectly," says a delighted team boss, remember that last year the UPCT Solar Team won the award for being a team of autonomous operation, "unlike the other teams, we do not have help teachers, we do everything ourselves. "

On the other hand, they are also aware of the limitations of its prototype from the rest.

"Our car is now effective, but is not as efficient as the other teams, so I think the podium will be difficult, our goal is to run and score," he adds.
