SECTION A- GENERAL GUIDELINES
1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
Efficycle is an intercollegiate design competition for undergraduate and graduate engineering students where teams have to design and fabricate an energy efficient Hybrid-human powered- three wheeled-electric vehicle. The vehicle must be aerodynamic, highly engineered, safe and ergonomically designed. The design should be commercially viable as a product and should be attractive to the consumers because of its visual appearance, performance, reliability and ease of operation.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of the event is to provide an opportunity for engineering students by setting up a trend of using eco-friendly vehicles in India and come up with some innovative designs.
Students have to tackle real world engineering problems, work in multi-disciplinary teams, practice design for manufacturability and manage a full product development cycle of life.
1.3 Competition Summary
The Competition includes designing, fabricating and validating a three wheeled vehicle driven by two drivers. The vehicle would be capable to be driven simultaneously as well as alternatively by two drivers and also simultaneously and alternatively on electricity. The vehicle would be evaluated for its design, performance, safety, durability and the teams compete against each other. The cumulative scores of all the events would decide the overall ranking of the teams in
