Solar car first in Australia!

Solar panels

ADELAIDE (Australia), 17/10/2019 - The students with their solar car, who inaugurated the first Brusol street together with Minister Gatz just last month, are now winning on the other side of the world too! Last night, the Agoria Solar Team won the world championship for solar cars. It is the first time that a Belgian team has become world champion.

Eighth time, good time for the students from KU Leuven. The team worked for no less than a year on the latest generation of their solar car. The solar car consists of a solar panel, a battery and some light bodywork.

On 22 September, some members of the Agoria Solar Team were guests at the inauguration of the Greenest Neighbourhood of Brussels in Anderlecht. In the district with the most solar panels, the penultimate generation of the solar car could not be missing of course!

Congratulations on your great achievement!
