We are a unique multidisciplinary team of motivated students with different fields of expertise, ranging from engineering to communication.
Building on previous experiences and knowledge, our goal is to raise the bar on innovation and construct a new, highly efficient solar car. This all, while also creating an optimal learning environment for all members.
Together with our partners, we innovate solar technology and strive towards a sustainable future.
Green Lightning on TT Assen
On February 11th, we received the unfortunate news that the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2021 has been cancelled. With the risks and uncertainties of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it isn't save for the organisation to host the race. But though we may not race in Australia this year, we will race again! We are confident in our perseverance as a team and are looking for alternatives as we speak. We are keeping all the options open and are determined to keep going!

Green Lightning, TDSR's first solar car, had to be built in less than two years. During those years, our engineers have done the research, designing, prototyping, testing and optimizing, with the support of our helpful partners! With a super efficient electromotor, high-tech solar array with innovative coating, a battery box that we designed ourselves and a feather light carbon body, we took on the solar challenge in Australia! Now, it is up to the 2021 team to do the same, to build a Green Lightning 2.0 and take on the challenge on their own!

This project started in February 2017 with four guys who had a dream; taking on a complex, innovative project in which they could take on a big technological challenge. By finding the right people to support their idea, gathering an ambitious team and focusing a lot on working together we’ve grown until what we are now. A close team, that works day and night on their road to Adelaide, on their road to putting the North of the Netherlands on the map!
On the 22nd and 23rd of August 2019, our team, divided in two groups, started its journey to the other side of the world: Australia! It took us 52 hours, two flights, one stop in Singapore and the use of every just available transportation (besides ship!) to get to Quorn, a town close to Port Augusta and our base for the first month in Down Under. In this blog, we will take you on this journey and tell you more about our travel to Australia.
While our technical guys are testing in Coober Pedy this week, we thought it would be a good idea to also do some preparation for the race with the people that have remained in Quorn… Today we have had our first race simulation day in Australia!
