    About The Team

    We were part of the event 7 times in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2011, 2013, 2017, 2023.
    Developing green energy, safety, intelligence, commercially available, and cloud-based "commercialized urban solar electric vehicle" technology. Currently, the EV industry focuses on "energy-saving and range extension," with specific strategies including vehicle design and lightweight material development.
    Redefining the product value of solar-powered new energy vehicles with a focus on commercialization, low aerodynamic drag, energy efficiency, mass producibility, and innovative design aesthetics as the development goals for the Apollo IX vehicle model. Each brand's vehicles have unique family characteristics. The Apollo solar car, developed for market release, features the built-in diffusers. Also, recycled carbon fiber is used in vehicle interior materials. It also uses the latest generation of solar cells to increase power generation efficiency. The suspension system uses 7N01 aluminum to increase dynamic load, and the battery system adds flame-retardant expansion stickers to prevent thermal runaway.
    With the worsening global climate change and environmental issues, achieving net-zero emissions has become a crucial goal for sustainable development worldwide. "Renewable energy" and "Vehicle electrification" are key strategies for global net-zero transformation. Electric vehicles are the trend of these years, many major manufacturers keep finding ways to increase the endurance of it. Commercializing our solar car has always been our goal. We hope to test and validate our designs through BWSC. BWSC is not just a competition but a big step towards our goal.
    To test and validate the designs and performance of Apollo IX plus. Moreover, we look forward to talk with other teams from the world and share knowledge each other to accelerate the revenue on PVEV industries, along with global net zero emission, new EV era, green energy, and sustainable future.
