Mohali, December 6

Students of Department of Mechanical Engineering of Rayat Bahra University have converted an internal combustion engine (IC) car into an electric vehicle. The students fabricated the two-seater car, named MiniME16.

The electric car can travel at a speed of 80 km in a single charge using four 12V batteries, powerful 1.5 KW motor and a solar panel on top to aid continuous charging.

Abhinav A Tripathi, Head, Mechanical Engineering Department and project guide, said the project was inspired by the insistent need for a Green future and the practicality of the product for commercial use. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
