A Green Technology Automotive Engineering innovation project is nothing new to UNITEN lecturers and students. It was initiated by a team of electrical engineer lecturers led by Mr. Halil Hussain, Assoc. Prof. Ismail Said and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Amir Hisham Hashim. The lecturers and a team of students build the first homebred car fully utilizing solar power. The Solar Ranger 1 was built and took part in the World Solar Challenge in Australia in October 2009. In 2011, the Solar Ranger II was assembled. Driven by spirit of exploration, learnt from the previous participation, more innovations were applied for betterment of the second solar ranger to compete in the World Solar Challenge 2012.
Recently, UNITEN was selected and awarded by Proton to develop a green technology automotive engineering in The Green Mobility Challenge 2012. The challenge is to innovate and built electric car for local automotive industry. A Proton Saga was given to each of the ten participating universities in Malaysia to be converted into a fully electric-powered car.
A team was assembled under the supervision of a team of lecturers in both technical and marketing aspects to meet up with the challenge. UNITEN's team built the Saga 2EV which runs with no gas but batteries. The development has being brought further to be tested on Sepang International Circuit Malaysia. UNITEN is proud to share the birth of our first locally developed electric vehicle built by the students and lecturers of the university.
Now you see that UNITEN is amazing and super genius in producing the product that can make our country proud and helpful someday. There's a lot of product that I want to share with you guys. See you in the next entry ! :)
