Primus on the move

Primus is on the move.

Word is that after having successfully tested the drive train a couple of weeks ago, the team was able to make Primus run on the road as well. Word is also that the vehicle ran flawlessly and comfortably.

There are still some issues but those are minor ones concerning Shell Eco Marathon rules, and will be addressed comfortably. Things are looking up.

PRIMUS INTER PARES!

Support Emenents!

It takes some saying, but...LIKE US!

Ok, so they have painted Kaar black.

This is how it looks now. Personally, I preferred the green-with-white-stripes for more than one reason, but the important thing is that it's working.

Kaar: Exhaustive testing underway

Kaar is undergoing stringent testing routines in which we are not only testing it for mileage, but also other aspects of the vehicle including factors affecting mileage, safety and reliability of component systems.

Unfortunately, I am unable to post videos due to some problem with blogger, so log on to our facebook group for the videos and pictures.

Kaar fit to go!

Kaar, the Urban Concept vehicle by emenents, has cleared a health test carried out by Shell Pakistan. This means that we are all set to go!

The team from Shell Pakistan identified some minor issues in the vehicle which need addressing, and we will address them, but once we hit top gear with the vehicle, any doubts and concerns about Kaar were laid to rest.

Meanwhile the team decided to postpone the health-test for Primus, as the vehicle by another team wasn't ready either. Primus is almost 80% done with the body expected to be deliver tomorrow, and wheel alignment (problem identified in testing) being carried out.
