Especially SolarCar involved, under the management by " managed by Prof. Dr. F. Pautzke, big student's teams over years. This demonstrates the strong link between research development and teaching, that is one goal of AI²T. Besides that SolarCar was and is undoubtedly the "door opener" for our starting industrial activities in electro mobility for the Bochum region.The upper right image, b.t.w., shows a previous model of SolarCar, put through its paces by Prof. Dr. A.
