Eco-Vehicle Project: Pioneering Sustainability and Innovation

About the Eco-Vehicle Project

Welcome to the Eco-Vehicle Project, a pioneering initiative by the University of the Free State that aligns engineering, sustainability, and practical learning with the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Over the past seven years, we’ve developed an innovative program where students build electric vehicles and solar charging stations, gaining invaluable hands-on experience in sustainability and technology.

Our mission is to equip students with the critical skills needed for emerging job markets while fostering a deep commitment to sustainable practices. Through our proven blueprint, we invite other institutions to join us in creating the next generation of environmentally-conscious engineers and leaders.
