See the original report Radio România Cultural, in Romanian
Radio România Cultural broadcast a report by Lidia Laic on Solis in its science section. The introduction on the station's website describes the team as a group of students who care about innovation and sustainable technology, and who build solar vehicles to take to international competitions.
The station recalls that in 2025 the team represented Romania at the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia, and writes that the vehicle covered 2,770 km of the Australian desert on solar power. The team's own figure is about 2,700 km: Hyperion last reached the Port Augusta control stop and finished 18th of 26 in the Challenger class.
The second part of the report looks ahead to 2026, when the team was preparing to race in Belgium at the iLumen European Solar Challenge. The broadcast covers who the Solis students are, how the race in Australia went and what they planned for the year. The audio has not been transcribed here; the full report can be heard on the station's website.
Summary written by the Solis team from the report published by Radio România Cultural on 19 March 2026. The original: “Studenții Universității Tehnice din Cluj-Napoca au construit un vehicul solar”
