Amprius-powered collegiate solar car teams crossed the finish
line on Oct. 26, three days before the race was slated to conclude
on Oct. 29 – taking the top four places, respectively:
- Innoptus Solar Team: built Infinite with a team of
students from KU Leuven in Leuven, Belgium.
- Solar Team Twente: built RED X with a team of students
from the University of Twente and Saxion University of Applied
Sciences in Enschede, Netherlands.
- Brunel Solar Team: built Nuna 12 with a team of students
from Delft University of Technology in Delft, Netherlands.
- University of Michigan Solar Car Team: built Astrum with
a team of undergraduates and postgraduates from the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
As reported by Cosmos, Amprius’ cells provide at least one
additional kilowatt of energy when compared to other cells used in
the competitions. The four teams using Amprius cells had an
estimated 30% increase in capacity when compared to other batteries
of comparable weight.
“To help enable these teams to capture the top 4 positions in
the world’s most demanding solar car race is remarkable,” said Kang
Sun, CEO of Amprius. “This is a testament to the intense
preparation and determination from all four teams. We’re extremely
proud our Silicon Anode Batteries proved capable of increasing
vehicle range on the world stage amid extreme environmental
conditions.”
