OREGON SOLAR CAR TEAM

OSCT takes a different approach to solar car design. While most teams choose to pursue the tried, true, and tested solutions, OSCT is not afraid to try new things. We are known for being the lightest car in our division (at just under 300 pounds), while still having the largest surface area possible. Our vehicle is entirely designed and built from composite Carbon Fiber. Everything from the frame to the body, to portions of the mechanical system, are constructed from composite, resulting in an extremely lightweight car. We also pursue new and exciting possibilities for our motor, our solar panels, and our batteries. Whether it be a motor designed for use on military drones or hub wheels built by a single man in Croatia, we are not afraid to put our victory on the line in the name of pushing the envelope for what is possible. We have, and will continue to, prioritize scientific advancement over our sure victory... The team was started in 2007 by Thomas Stueve, under the name Oregon..
