Solar team breaks world record title

Breaking!

new record!

1051km in 12 hours!

After two European titles and a world title, the Leuven engineering students are stunting again. On Sunday 12 June 2022, they drove their solar car 1050 km in 12 hours. In doing so, they smashed the 127 km world record set by the Dutch Solar Team from Delft in 2020. Apart from a flat tyre, the record attempt went off without a hitch. Both the solar car and the team are ready for the next challenge: the Sasol Solar Challenge from 9 to 16 September in South Africa.
