A total of 12 prototypes have confirmed their attendance at the 'Solar-Murcia Race' held on Saturday, from 11:00 to 19:00 at the Circuito de Cartagena, in a event organized by the Ministry of Universities, Business and Research, through the Regional Agency for Energy Management in the Region of Murcia.
Specifically, the teams, who will present prototypes built for themselves and who either are powered by renewable energy (like solar or hydrogen) or have made an engine with brands which have a large low energy consumption.
The Director General of Industry, Energy and Mines, José Francisco Puche, said during the presentation ceremony that "this issue" zero "we have the participation of prototypes that come from different municipalities of Valencia and Bilbao, as well a French and a prototype solar-operated fuel cell, Portuguese.
The vehicle of the University of Murcia, Salzillo 2, also confirmed his attendance. "
Also, Puche recalled that "entry to the event is free and the gates of the circuit will be open from 11:00 for all citizens who wish to attend, beginning the show at 12:00 and the rest of program activities until seven o'clock. "
Prototypes
Registered function prototypes with different technologies: some of ethanol, such as the University of Murcia, hybrid (gasoline-electric), biodiesel and gasoline engine, which is modified to reduce consumption.
In fact, the two prototypes have been made from Bilbao runs 500 kilometers on one liter of gasoline or diesel.
Indeed the French car is powered by an electric motor powered by energy produced by photovoltaic solar cells located on the surface of the vehicle.
Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity, which can be stored in batteries or used directly by the engine.
The Portuguese car uses fuel cell technology with hydrogen is needed, which is transformed into electricity through the battery and the electricity used to power an electric motor also.
The 'Solar-Murcia Race' is the first exhibition race car powered with alternative and renewable energies in Spain and is the starting point of a project that seeks to turn this event in the main forum for exchange of ideas and transfer of knowledge between universities and companies for the design of future cars.
In fact, this first edition will attend research fellows from universities and companies.
"In addition, the 'Solar Race' will run throughout the year with forums and meetings with national and international experts," said Director General of Industry.
Other events
Also, this event is completed with a global Efficient Driving, among other activities, such as to test electric and hybrid vehicles that are being marketed at this time and posed a real alternative to cars with traditional fuels.
Participate in the World Cup fifty people who have registered through the web www.murciasolarrace.com and qualify for a prize of fuel vouchers worth 200 euros (for both drivers more efficient and less used to travel the circuit) and 100 euros (for two seconds).
Finally, the race teams in the exhibition and the organization will hold a meeting to set the rules and characteristics of the prototypes to participate in future editions.
