LODZ SOLAR TEAM is a student group of Łódź University of Technology full of passion for motor racing. The common goal of constructing solar powered cars is what inspired us to establish our team. With our initiatives, we promote and advance eco-mobility in Poland. We are looking for volunteers to join our project:
An announcement about the enrollment for the "Construction of a solar-powered vehicle and joining international competitions" project, which is planned to be attached by the Łódź University of Technology to non-competitive project of the Minister of Science: "The support of students in developing their abilities and skills" financed as a part of the Action 01.05 The Skills in higher education from the funds of
