DJS Helios

DJS Helios is a student-run solar powered Vehicle Racing team at D.J. Sanghvi College of Engineering based in Mumbai, India. It is established to design and build a solar powered car to compete in Electric-Solar Vehicle Championship (ESVC). The team is primarily composed of 30 undergraduate students of Mechanical Engineering.

History
The DJS Helios team was established in Jan 2016. The team was created to build a Electric-solar powered vehicle to compete in 2017 Electric-Solar Vehicle Championship.

Looking to the future
With a new build cycle and new team members, our main focus this season will be to design a new vehicle that will be competitive in future events.

The Cars
Apollo

Apollo
Construction of Apollo started in Jan 2016 lead by 8 team members. Apollo became the first prototype. Its construction finished in March 2016 with 20 new technical members. Being the very first car, Apollo served as a solid basis of knowledge required to build a car that was capable of qualifying and participating in competition. The successful effort gave the team a firm foundation to further expand its capabilities.

Based on Apollo, the new car to compete in ESVC 2017 was aimed primarily at building a high strength chassis with more power output, enhanced technologies and more durability to achieve more higher speeds. The designing and the construction of new car started in March 2016 and will be completed by Jan 2017.
