Welcome to the Solar Power Car Team
In October of 1999, the World Solar Challenge was held in Australia. The challenge was
to travel from Darwin to Adelaide via Alice Springs, a total of 3010km along the Stuart
Highway, by a solar-powered car, cycle or glider. The World Electric and Solar Vehicle
Conference was then held in Adelaide. This happens again in 2001.
This project is part of the ideology to remember the past and challenge the future. With the help of
sponsors, like yourself, we hope to raise sufficient funds* to construct a
Solar Powered Car and then travel to Australia in 2001 to race the car in the World Solar
Challenge. Since the acceptance of our project proposal by
Hutt Valley High School Principal, Sylvia Burch, and an article that appeared
in both The Evening
Post and stuff.co.nz,
interest amongst the staff and students of our school has soared. We aim not only to meet
the challenge of building the car, but also the challenge of creating a more diverse and
prestigious school and school community.
* We need to raise approximately $55000 to cover the cost of
construction and transport to Australia.
We have many different levels of sponsorship. Please feel free to take
a look and to contact us if youd like.

Tailor Made Packages
We can tailor a sponsorship package to suit your needs or requests. However, the cost
of advertising space cannot differ far from those stated on the previous pages as we will
be unable to reach our funding target if this is lowered.
Tailor made packages include the different benefits which an organisation
who discounts goods will receive. |
