Senegal: The first solar car manufactured by students!

Auto gazelle is the name of the new invention of the students of the Polytechnic School of Dakar (ESP). This institution delivers courses in the fields of science, technology and management.

Indeed, the students of this school were challenged to build a “utility car, which rolls without fuel, without making noise and that does not pollute the environment”.

And it’s done, they managed to put together a solar car “Auto gazelle”. Still in the state of model, “Auto-gazelle” could very soon roll in Senegal.

The Polytechnic School of Dakar, better known by the acronym ESP is a vocational training school under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education of Senegal.
