About the EV Team



INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) PROJECT TEAM 


The Electric Vehicle sub-team of the Mechatronics Research Group, University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) was formed in February, 2019 in response to a challenge posed to three Nigerian Universities towards local development, manufacture and commercialization of low cost, environmentally friendly and sustainable electric vehicles for campus shuttle and electric tractor for mechanization of small holder farmers, by the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), Abuja. In UNN, the then Vice Chancellor, Prof. Benjamin C. Ozumba was quick to respond to the challenge by empowering the Mechatronics Research Group to immediately embark on producing an electric car for campus shuttle within six weeks to prove the potentials of UNN in that regards. The team successfully completed the production of the five-seater electric vehicle within the set time period which was officially unveiled in the presence of the UNN administration, NADDC officials and the media on July 8, 2019 at the VC’s conference room of the University of Nigeria and demonstrated around the area to the public. Since after the unveiling, the team has been working towards her vision and mission.
