BANDUNG, West Java: A prototype of a solar-powered car jointly
developed by students of Surabaya-based Sepuluh November
Institute of Technology (ITS) and the Bandung-based National
Aircraft Manufacturer (IPTN) will participate in a car festival
in Australia next year.

The 200-kilogram, 10 square-meter car equipped with a solar
cell panel, is expected to be completed by the end of this year,
the Antara news agency reported.

The car's maximum speed is 120 kilometers per hour, the report
said.

The students seek to double the car's efficiency and hope that
the vehicle can be a good alternative in the 21st century.(pwn)
