Students of the Carpathian State Higher School (KPU) in Krosno are developing a car to break the Polish record. The vehicle of students from the research club “Rotor” is being prepared for the Shell Eco-marathon. It is targeted to travel over a thousand kilometers on one liter of fuel.

They called the car “Piła II”. This is a reference to the previous design, with which they have competed many times in international competitions for young constructors. During the competitions, teams from different countries present the most energy-efficient vehicles possible.

“Piła” from Krosno has already participated in four Shell Eco-marathons. In the last competition in 2019, on the track in the Netherlands, it achieved a result of 749 km on one liter of ethanol.

Unlike its predecessor, “Piła II” will have a self-supporting body, which will significantly improve the parameters of the car. The research group “Rotor” received funding from the Minister of Education and Science to develop their innovative solutions.
