Students who make cars can run nearly 3,000 km with a liter of gasoline

According to calculations, the homemade car of a group of Hanoi University of Industry students can run 2,948km with just a liter of gasoline.

According to the announcement from the organizing committee of the fuel-saving driving competition, after 8 rounds of running with a distance of 9,265km and an average speed of 26km / h, the self-made car of a group of students of the Automobile Technology Department - University Hanoi industry consumes only 3.26 cc of gasoline. Thus, according to the relative calculation of the computer, with a liter of gasoline, the car can run 2,948km in ideal conditions. This result goes far beyond the performance of racing teams that are students from other universities in the country.

According to the captain Bui Ngoc Can, in 5 times of the fuel-saving driving competition , this is the second time the racing team of Hanoi University of Industry won the championship.

After receiving the engine block of the 110cc Honda Wave, the student group of the Super Cub racing team took 5 months to design and complete the car. Seven people in the team are assigned specific jobs such as paving, coating, engine improvement. The frame system is also drilled into a frame bar to reduce weight.

Still maintaining the submarine style of a competition vehicle in previous years, but the team's self-made car was adjusted to be more aerodynamic. The engine is also removed from the excess parts, changing the gear ratio appropriately. The most difficult part of the captain born in 1995 is the body of the car.

During the design and test run, the shell does not fit and has to be adjusted several times. When the car enters the bends or the undulating road, the tire covers. The whole team took a lot of time to edit and fix. The period of one month of trial run, the team's performance is unstable and low at high. Therefore, the successful competition and high achievement in the competition took place unexpectedly and happily.

After reaching the finish line and knowing impressive achievements, the driver of the car is Vu Hoai Nam, the last year student said that he was very happy because 2 years ago the team did not have a good result because the car was malfunctioning in the competition. Men share driving experience to achieve this result is to keep the station process in the rounds. One race, the driver uses 2 times the throttle and the same station.

Talking to the PV, teacher Ngo Quang Tao, who instructed the racing team of Hanoi University of Industry, said that at this year's competition, the Super Cub team had an advantage when playing early, with few cars running on the road. . In addition, to have good results, in addition to instruction from teachers, the group of students also made efforts to research and create a good competition vehicle.

With the achievements, the Super Cub team of Hanoi University of Industry will represent the Vietnamese student team attending the ecological driving competition in Japan in October.
