The University of Texas Solar Vehicles Team is a student organization sponsored by the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. The team consists of a diverse range of students from the Cockrell School of Engineering and the College of Liberal Arts. Under the guidance of Professor Gary Hallock, students raise funds, design, build, test, and race vehicles powered only by the sun.

The team's current car is named Samsung Solorean, which was completed in 2008 for the North American Solar Challenge. We are currently fine-tuning the Samsung Solorean to get it ready for this year's race. The Solorean improves on our previous car designs by delivering more power, and implementing significant advances with respect to safety.

This unique endeavor has fostered personal growth, cultivated friendships, and furthered education among all of those involved. We hope you will join us our effort to make a profound difference that will persevere long after the checkered flag is flown.

We are currently making a new corporate packet that describes our work with the Solar Solorean. For more information on what the team did in the construction of Solar Steer and outreach events, please check out our previous corporate packet, available here.
