The bike milage 410Km with one litre Petrol
Nearly 400 student teams competed this year in the three separate races—Americas, Europe, and Asia—staged this spring and summer.
Purdue's Celeritas is named for the Latin word for speed, the "c" that stands for the speed of light in Einstein's equation, E = mc2. It wasn't speed but efficiency that garnered the student team from West Lafayette, Indiana, the $2,000 first place prize in the solar-powered urban concept car category in the Americas race in Houston in April. The car glided around the city's Discovery Green at 69 miles (111 kilometers) per kilowatt-hour, the energy equivalent of 2,325 miles per gallon (989 kilometers per liter) fuel economy on gasoline. As an "urban concept" vehicle, the Celeritas is a street-legal car, with doors, upright seating, even safety mirrors. Purdue also took home an additional $1,000 award for outstanding communications efforts.
