Green Lightning is the result of two years of engineering! The light carbon body has enough space for innovative parts that we’ve built from scratch. The monohulled solar car has a design which leaves room for further technological, outside the box solutions. By using four wheel steering our solar car can drive under an angel, which gives benefits to aerodynamical resistance.

Meet Kevin, lead of the driver’s group. Kevin has been karting since he was eight and has been dreaming of a career as a professional driver ever since. Thanks to his knowledge and experience, he has been able to train the other drivers in the team to the talents they are today.
In every conversation we have about our project this question is asked: "Who is the driver of the solar car?" To answer this question and to highlight the drivers, you can get to know one of our drivers better: Ruben Otter.
