RTSC:

It is a question of scalability.
If they want a bigger car, they would scale up the battery capacity.

Battery technology should not be too difficult for a faculty that had P.N okeke and Anyakoha.

iamsonofthunder:
Electric car is not new so I don't expect them to present this sort of stuff, instead they should have invested more on the body, an average car owner don't care about the inner principles but the exterior design

KingMicky3286:
Electric keke?

RTSC:

Well, it is not for the market yet.
It is for the Federal government.

Of course, they are not dumb enough to push it to the market like this.

I expect a collaboration between UNN, innoson and the federal government.

izzou:


Instead of this ugly tin of sardine
UNN could have simply met Innoson to provide the car while they design whatever mechanism it's supposed to have

This stuff isn't presentable for a prestigious school as UNN

Kudos though

M

Young man, if you did your projects properly in school or at least was attentive to Engineering seminars and projects. You’d understand that this is a prototype of an Electric car.

Benekruku:


If I talk, The car will breakdown wherever it is

izzou:


I understand. But they virtually did the basics. People build electric cars from the scratch on YouTube. I expect a university project to be spectacular

If a school with mechanical engineering department can carve this as the body of a car, then I wonder what the local panel beater will present

They could have simply met Innoson or Proforce and fix their mechanism there. It would make so much sense

NeekolazWorld:
I no fit laugh abeg. I rushed into the thread hoping to see a car and praise God that we are really moving forward but to my greatest surprise I am speechless. So that is what the op called a car in this 2019.

InvertedHammer:

Innoson? Proforce? That's an overstretch.

As poor as I am, I will gladly provide them with the tools, equipment and technical-know-how for something more appealing to the eyes.

This is 2019 for Christ's sake!

AutoReportNG:
Earlier this week, the Director-General of National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) commended the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) for being the first institution to produce an electric car in the country, according to him, he said, “NADDC on Feb. 6, invited UNN, University of Lagos, Usman Dan Fodio University and Metrological Institute and urged them to prepare a paper design on how to produce an electric car in the country.

“The council is happy that UNN is the first to prepare a paper design and produced electrical car that has been unveiled and test-run today in the university.

“We urge other universities and higher institutions in the country to emulate innovation and technology spirit of UNN.”

Aliyu made the commendation in Nsukka on Monday during the unveiling of a five-seater Electric Car, named ‘Lion Ozumba 551′, produced by the Faculty of Engineering in the university.

While many applauded the gesture for this feat, many are asking, where are the pictures and how sure are we that they really produce any car of such magnitude.

AutoReportNG did a background check and we got some exclusives for you, while we are yet to have a total overview of this car, we applaud the students and the management for taking the right direction while we await on UNILAG and others for their own version.
