The Global Green Challenge
The Global Green Challenge, an evolution of the acclaimed World Solar Challenge introduced by the South Australian Tourism Commission completed ten years of its existence this year. This solar car event is the world’s leading, cross-continental showcase of the latest advances in hybrid, electric, solar, low emission, and alternative energy vehicles. The Tokai University team was declared the winners after defeating 30 competitors from 13 countries. Driven by Dakar rally champion Kenjiro Shinozuka, the one-passenger solar car equipped with Sharp compound solar cells covered 3,000-kilometer race from Darwin in northern Australia to Adelaide in South Australia at an average speed of about 100 kilometers per hour. The six square meters of solar panels covering the streamlined car made it possible to win the race by moving at an average speed of 100.54 km per hour.
