Solis EV1
The vehicle that started it all.
Four wheels and two electric motors in the rear wheels.
Drag sideways or use the buttons.
The first team, about ten students, built it between 2018 and 2021 with very little money. It is the only Solis vehicle with rear-view mirrors. Every vehicle since has used cameras instead.

How it was built.
Work started in 2018, when Assoc. Prof. Ștefan Breban and Prof. Călin Neamțu brought together the first team: about ten students, led by Ervin Bálint. The vehicle was almost ready in 2020, but the race in Belgium was postponed by a year.
EV1 has a frame of aluminium profiles and a carbon-fibre body. The two motors in the rear wheels are 3 kW each, each with its own inverter. Its sponsors were Belco Avia, Bosch, Banca Transilvania, Inotec, Olson Engineering, Cadwork and Archicad.
