Duration: 0:58 seconds

Meet AVIC, a car from the future.

He was developed to eliminate any problems

a human faces on a daily basis.

The car body system is designed

to increase downforce grip

and achieve the most aerodynamic shape.

Most of his parts are made

of Carbon-Kevlar composite monocoque

to minimize weight and increase strength.

The tires are airless making it safer

since no air pressure is used

and decrease rubber consumption.

You might have noticed

the car was referred to as a 'he'.

It was actually intentional

because AVIC's super intelligence

allows him to understand

any spoken language

uploaded on this database.

So he isn't only able to study

the personality of the driver,

but also connects to your smart home system

and monitors different home

appliances and systems.

He can also detect the user's voice

so it won't operate for other drivers

unless he says the password

set by the car owner.

The car automatically activates

self-driving mode

and heads towards the nearest hospital

in case of any changes

in the driver's vitals.

“We have been taking part in Shell Eco-marathon challenges since 2014, and as time passes, our team is growing, becoming more knowledgeable and putting it into practice. We have achieved multiple accolades in the 2021 Virtual League and are looking forward to the 2022 season, presenting a new vehicle on the track and aiming to improve our best efficiency results from previous seasons.”

Approach to Design and Innovation

The team’s approach was exclusive to their car, but practical in general. They created unique designs that can be produced and widely used.

Approach to Creativity

The team unleashed their creativity in this challenge! Inspired by Sci-Fi movies and their imaginations, they focused on generating a car that makes you enjoy the journey more than the arrival.
