bigHead has recently supported a team of engineering students by supplying composite panel fasteners for their project which aimed to design and manufacture a fuel-efficient prototype electric vehicle.
Team ETA, a team of 25 undergraduate engineering students from Somaiya Vidyavihar University (SVU), Mumbai, India are currently designing and manufacturing their vehicle prototype for the annual @Shell Eco-marathon (SEM) international competition in 2023.
bigHead composite panel fasteners were used in the construction of the ultra light-weight monocoque body made from a carbon fibre shell. The team currently holds the record from India for the most fuel-efficient prototype vehicle which has a recorded mileage of 268.7km per litre at the Shell Eco-marathon, India held in Bangalore, 2019. The body weight of the winning vehicle was just 8kg.
bigHead now awaits the results of the teams’ current prototype.
Becca is the latest member to join our team and is eager to get stuck into the world of fasteners. She brings an enthusiastic and fresh outlook on what we do editorially and will be leading our social media activity – including sourcing material, editing articles and posting online.
