The Student Automotive Enthusiasts’ Club will begin constructing an innovative, highly efficient next‑generation solar vehicle to represent Poland in international solar competitions.
As part of the nationwide program Student Research Clubs Create Innovation, initiated by the Ministry of Science, the Lodz Solar Team from the Institute of Machines and Vehicles will carry out the project “Eagle Three: Construction of an innovative, highly efficient next‑generation solar vehicle to represent Poland in international solar competitions.”
This initiative brings together modern engineering, environmentally friendly technologies, and the passion of young engineers who strive to create solutions that genuinely shape the future. The project involves building a groundbreaking, five‑seat next‑generation solar car — ultralight, highly efficient, and powered exclusively by solar energy. It is a vehicle designed to set new standards in electromobility and demonstrate how far innovation combined with clean energy can take us.
The development of the project will include a cycle of prototype improvements and a series of intensive real‑world tests at the Łódź Track, where simulation and calculation results will be verified — drivetrain and motor efficiency, photovoltaic cell performance, and airflow analysis in key structural areas. The tests will also confirm the actual energy savings provided by the team’s proprietary intelligent energy‑management system.
Eagle Three represents the technology of the future, intended to proudly represent Poland on the international stage. The project is being developed by a team led by Jakub Dobrysiak, and the supervisor of the Research Club responsible for the initiative is Dr. Eng. Rafał Dychto.
