A product of two and a half years of hard work. A group of RVCE students of Bangalore proudly displayed 'Garuda' a fuel efficient car which promises a mileage of 200 kms a litre.
A dream come true of eight engineering students who wanted to just 'build a car'. Led by Nishant Sarawgi two and a half years ago, they wanted to take part in a super mileage competition.
Then, the focus changed to innovation. Nishant says 'There were a lot of changes, right from the engine, tires, chassis and body. We kept making constant improvements to the design of the car to make it more aerodynamic'.
The figure, they have set as a target for mileage is 500kms/litre. The miieage they achieved in three days of testing on NICE road was 180 kms/litre.
The finished product was unveiled by international car designer Dilip Chhabria.
More work will be done on the car to make it more fuel-efficient.
The team will take part in the Shell-Exo Marathon (UK) next year.
