Introduction to the UJ Hybrid Car Project

The University of Johannesburg (UJ) is currently developing alternative energy vehicles to compete in the 2012 South African Solar Challenge (SASC). Building on previous success with energy vehicles, UJ has put together a unique and innovative alternative energy vehicle project. With undergraduate and postgraduate students from the Engineering Science and Industrial Design departments, the Alternative Energy Vehicle Project is building three innovative vehicles powered by solar panels, a hydrogen fuel cell, and a gas turbine generator. The vehicles are to compete in the internationally recognised 2012 SASC.
