The student society Cambridge University Eco Racing (CUER) have been taking their four-seater solar-powered car, Helia, to car shows around the UK this summer, with a UK solar car student team track event coming up very soon.

An undergraduate team behind Helia – one of the world’s most energy-efficient cars – aims to inspire the next generation of engineers when they take the electric car on tour around schools next summer.

An undergraduate team have collaborated with top UK automotive companies and experts to develop and manufacture ‘Helia’ – a new solar-powered electric vehicle.

The Cambridge University Eco Racing (CUER) team preparations ahead of a major solar endurance challenge across Australia were captured and broadcast by the Discovery Channel as part of a new series.

A group of Cambridge students are hoping that their game-changing design of solar car will make them the first British winners of the World Solar Challenge.

Cambridge University Eco Racing team (CUER) has been forced to design a radical new solar car in its attempt to win the World Solar Challenge, a 3,000 km race across Australia.

To celebrate their new solar car design, Cambridge University Eco Racing (CUER) are launching a national competition, for school pupils aged from 6 to 14, to design a car for the future. Unlike CUER's car, the designs will not be restricted to solar power, but the team will still be looking for some exciting and innovative ideas. Competition entries will be judged, in three age categories, by some of CUER's technical team. Those shortlisted will be invited to the CUER design launch and 'solar fun day' event in May.

The Cambridge University Eco Racing team's (CUER) new solar racing car - Britain's brightest hope for the Global Green Challenge - will be launched at Goodwood Festival of Speed this Sunday 5th July. Currently codenamed 'Bethany', the car will be unveiled with its official name at the world-famous motorsport festival.
