The development of a car from scratch is only possible through the support of a wide network - including industry partners, sponsors, and long-time friends of the team. Whether it’s through technical expertise, materials, funding, or mentorship, each contribution plays a crucial role. Our vehicles bring together innovations in composite manufacturing, solar array design, and large-scale cloud technologies, all made possible by this collaborative ecosystem.
