These students made the world's first 100% eco-friendly vehicle - a bamboo car that runs on electrical energy

When brilliant young minds come together with a target in mind, great things can happen. To decide on the most aerodynamic shape for the body of the bamboo car, the team looked up all the existing vehicle prototype designs and did a couple of literature surveys as well. Creating a bamboo framework for the 100% eco-friendly car The real challenge for the team however was creating the chassis or the load-bearing framework on which the entire body of the car would be mounted. Team Pravega from Government Engineering College, Barton Hill How does this 100% bamboo car reduce fuel dependency? “We are thinking about coming up with a two-seater electric bamboo car incorporating the bamboo fabric body with bamboo chassis for next Shell Eco-marathon edition under the Urban Concept category,” says team member Abhinav P Sekhar.
