First tests at DronePort
The runway at DronePort has provided the perfect environment for the Innoptus Solar Team, the reigning world champions, to conduct their initial tests. Although the tests were performed on the penultimate version of the solar car, new innovations that will be implemented in the latest version were rigorously tested to ensure performance and reliability. These tests are crucial for fine-tuning the vehicle before it faces the challenging conditions of the SASOL Solar Challenge.
Public presentation in June
In addition to these tests, the Innoptus Solar Team is preparing for a large presentation event in June, also at DronePort. This event will offer invitees a chance to see the solar car up close and learn more about the technology behind it. It’s an exciting opportunity for enthusiasts and supporters of sustainable transportation to witness the latest innovations in the field.
