SAE NIS Efficycle — Team Effiroaders

About the Event

"EFFICYCLE", derived from Efficient-Cycle, promotes the objective of providing opportunity to the students to conceive, design and fabricate a three-wheel configuration vehicle powered by human-electric hybrid power and capable of seating two passengers catering to the day-to-day mobility needs. The vehicle must be aerodynamic, engineered for performance & safety, and ergonomically designed. The objective is to promote innovation and generate consciousness amongst the young engineers towards environment-friendly mobility solutions. The event is organized and supported by Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT), and Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.

About Team Effiroaders

Team Effiroaders of CDGI was formed in the year 2013 to participate in the 3rd season of EFFICYCLE. The team consists of 10-13 students from both the Mechanical Engineering Department and the Electronics & Communication Engineering Department. The team works collaboratively to bring innovative engineering theories to life, prototyping and testing their hybrid designs in the institutional labs.
