The product
of an untiring effort by the group of students “GARUDA-RVCE SUPERMILEAGE CAR” was unveiled on Saturday August 2, 2008 at the RV College of Engineering,
Bangalore by none other than Mr. Dilip
Chhabria of DC fame, an internationally
renowned authority on car design and concepts. After having evaluated the
features of the car and understanding from the students the specific design
details, Mr. Chhabria expressed his
great sense of confidence and appreciation of the design and technological
capability of students in achieving this fantastic mileage. He specially
praised the team’s efforts considering the global relevance and highlighted the
need for such innovations in light of current oil-crisis and the need for
“green” technologies.
Nishant Sarawgi - Team Leader, had this to say “ The project not only gave us a chance to implement the concepts that we
have learned in theory, but also helped each one of us in unleashing the inner potential to
innovate and find implementable solutions to practical problems. The fusion of
theory and practice has proved to be invaluable in reinforcing knowledge while
also enabling us to think out of the box. The many innovative solutions that
emerged during the whole process led us to sharpen our application skills. One
very core objective which guided the process was also to help
create awareness of the burning environmental issues like global warming, oil
crisis and the need for green technologies and conservation of energy.”
