New UW Solar Vehicle Team Crushes at American Solar Challenge
Incredibly, UW has never had a solar vehicle team—until Fall'23.
Started by an ambitious first-year MechE undergrad student, Hailin Truman, and joined by an incredible cross-disciplinary team of enthusiastic and talented engineering students, the UW Solar Vehicle Team just crushed it at the 2025 Formula Sun Grand Prix in Kentucky run by the American Solar Challenge:
- Sixth in the nation 🏅
- Rookie of the year 🏆
- Lap record of 4:23 🏎️🏁
Congratulations! The team is always looking for new recruits, check out their LinkedIn here and their website here.
Professor Froehlich is the faculty advisor for the team.
