Design
The Future

"Leading the team in the 3rd edition of the Electric Four Wheeler Design Challenge in 2025 was a transformative experience that elevated both my technical capabilities and leadership confidence. As Captain, I steered our team through the design and fabrication of a high-performance electric vehicle, emphasizing energy efficiency, structural robustness, and real-world applicability. Winning the 3rd prize was a proud milestone that reflected our commitment to sustainable mobility and collaborative innovation. This challenge not only deepened my understanding of EV technologies but also prepared me for the complexities of the automotive industry."

"I began my journey with SAEISS in my first year and now two years passed. EFWDC 2024 and 2025 were among the most impactful learning experiences of my engineering career. As a Powertrain Engineer in my college team, I gained deep practical knowledge in EV powertrain development, battery management, energy efficiency, and drivetrain optimization. The competition environment taught me how to work under pressure, collaborate effectively, and troubleshoot real engineering challenges on the spot. Beyond technical skills, I also developed strong leadership, planning, and project-management abilities. SAE’s platform truly bridges classroom learning with hands-on industry exposure."

"EFWDC 2025 was a highly enriching experience for me as a second-year student who joined SRT VECTOR in my first year. The event helped me understand the complete engineering workflow—from design review to manufacturing and finally presenting the finished vehicle. I learned how design decisions are evaluated, gained hands-on experience in fabrication and problem-solving, and improved my ability to communicate technical concepts. Working with seniors throughout the process strengthened my teamwork, technical confidence, and overall understanding of real-world engineering. I am thankful to SAE India for providing such a valuable platform."

"Participating in the SAE EFWDC event in the third edition, as a member of the Gepard Racing Electra team, has been a great learning experience for me. Building our fully customised vehicle enhanced my technical knowledge, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. The guidance, workshops, and hands-on sessions—especially in vehicle design and fabrication—helped me understand real-world engineering challenges. This event connected my classroom learning with industry practices and greatly boosted my confidence as an engineering student."
