Abstract

This paper outlines the design strategy for the University of Johannesburg's (UJ's) hybrid vehicle entry into the South African Solar Challenge (SASC) 2010. The SASC is a biennial event focused on alternative energies and showcasing various automotive technologies. The SASC is broken up into different classes; UJ entered in the Greenfleet Technology class. This paper presents the design principles and strategies used to implement a working prototype vehicle which is hybrid (propelled by multiple energy sources) and autonomous (able to operate without human assistance).
