太陽能車大賽2003優勝隊伍
由香港地球之友主辦的第四屆太陽能車大賽於11月23日在維多利亞公園圓滿舉行,二十三隊太陽能車隊激烈競賽,角逐今屆太陽能車大賽的各個獎項。
太陽能車大賽被形容為「熱力四射」的比賽,除了各輛由企業隊伍及學校隊伍精心設計的太陽能車以可再生能源太陽能驅動外,賽事的氣氛亦非常熱鬧,隊伍除講究速度,要奪取最高榮譽速度大獎外,還要競逐「擁抱地球設計大獎」、「最佳團隊精神大獎」、「最佳外型設計大獎」及「慈善大獎」。
今屆高級組有雙冠軍,分別是香港電燈有限公司及香港大學機械工程系,兩隊分別都用了21分14秒完成了約10公里共30圈的賽事;中學隊的冠軍是中華基督教會扶輪中學,用了25分51秒完成了約8公里共25圈的賽事。
香港電車有限公司及英皇佐治五世學校則奪得今屆太陽慈善大獎,籌募最高的善款協助推動本地環保教育。
賽事有勝必有敗,但太陽能車大賽的參賽隊伍大多不論輸贏都會在明年捲土重來。因為每年的賽事對設計及構建這種既安全、具技術挑戰性又無污染的車輛都有最新的要求,讓它們競賽之餘,又可以接觸最先進的可再生能源技術。
