The car uses seamless pipe chassis, which makes it easier to manufacture.

Waaree Energies Ltd. is sponsoring the making of Electric Solar Vehicle by the VJTI RACING - the collegiate club of VJTI College, Mumbai. The club has been constantly participating in events involving manufacturing of ATVs and formula-type cars.

The idea is to design a vehicle that is feasible enough to be manufactured on an industrial scale and also economically viable for all sections of society. It is meant to be a technology that provides an efficient way of transportation using renewable source of energy.

The car uses seamless pipe chassis, which makes it easier to manufacture. It has a compact design and provides high manoeuvrability and short turning radius. The car is driven by 2KW BLDC motor along with well-engineered power transmission, which helps in achieving high speeds with low consumption of power.

The area and positioning of solar panels is chosen with utmost optimization so that all energy requirements are met. The car uses Li-ion batteries by virtue of their less charging time, increased output and at the same time reducing the overall weight.
