Solar Team Twente
Same Drive, New Adventure
Solar Team Twente has been building solar cars for more than 20 years and raced them across Australia and South Africa. Now we leave the asphalt behind and head for the desert: Solar Team Twente goes rally racing.
Our mission
Testing sustainable technology in the toughest places on earth
Our mission is to test sustainable innovations in the most extreme conditions, contribute to societal challenges, and put Twente on the world stage as a technology hub. After two decades of solar racing, we take it to the extreme: rallying on solar energy.
