Changing the paradigm of transportation: Lightweight composites used in solar car in intercollegiate competition

摘要

I understand that Plastics Unlimited has been working with Iowa State University PrISUm solar vehicle team for the past few months, could you explain more about the project? Dylan: PrISUm at Iowa State University is constructing the world's first fully, consumer oriented solar electric vehicle. The team of 120 members ranging from engineers, designers, education, and business are dedicated to changing the ideal of transportation. In the current automotive industry, there is a shift to sustainable and electric solutions. The vehicle will be a four door, practical vehicle that never has to hit the plug in but maintains the efficiency of your standard plug in EV (Fig. 1).
