Hochschule Bochum Solar Car
Building solar-powered electric racing cars has a long history at the Bochum University of Applied Sciences: The first car, HansGo!, was introduced in 2003. It was the first and the last "typical" solar car built by the team at our university. Over the next 2 generations of cars we moved from the flat-shaped design of HansGo! towards a design that has more suitability for daily use than any other solar-car competing in the World Solar Challenge.
The second car, SolarWorld No.1, named after the...
