Visit this link for full information.
http://www.cambridge.org.hk/blog/blogs/index.php?blog=10&title=cambridge_university_eco_racing&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Cambridge University Eco Racing was founded in 2007 by an undergraduate engineer who, inspired by his work on a solar car team during his year participating in the Cambridge-MIT Exchange, began a similar project in Cambridge. By the end of the year, CUER had built a prototype vehicle, Affinity, in the hope of demonstrating the incredible potential of electric vehicles. Through the development of such vehicles, CUER aims to showcase cutting-edge sustainable engineering and to develop our own technologies for a low-carbon future.
