Jordan
University of
Science and Technology Energy Center (JUSTEC) will organize a solar car
challenge next year. The race is the first of its kind in the region. The first
year challenge will only be among Jordanian teams. The race will be held at JUST
campus. The event aims at encouraging interest in the study of electric vehicle
technology as well as increasing public awareness of 'clean' transport and solar
energy. Participating teams has to design, build and race solar-powered
vehicles. The event consisted of two categories: a challenge category, in which
vehicles had to cost less than a certain budget (to be determined later), and an
open one, in which any type of solar vehicle could race, giving the opportunity
to solar car enthusiasts to take part in the competition. Photos of JUST One
