At JU Solar Team, we aim to be part of developing future fuels — powered by the sun.

Our work is guided by three values: sustainability, innovation, and being stronger together ⭐️ JU Solar Team 23’ har nu påbörjat sin utmaning att tillsammans utveckla, designa och bygga en bil som drivs på 100% solenergi! Med denna solbil kommer teamet representera Jönköping University i Australien i Bridgestone World Solar Challenge hösten 2023, redo för att kämpa om en pallplats. Om ni vill följ

After two years as part of JU Solar Team, it is time for us to hand things over ⭐️

What started as a project quickly became something much bigger — long days, challenges, teamwork, and experiences we will carry with us far beyond this team. We are incredibly thankful to everyone who has supported us along the way. None of this would have been possible without you.

As some of us move on to new studies and working life, we do so knowing that being part of JU Solar Team has shaped us in ways that will stay with us.

Next week, a new team steps in. A few of us will remain involved as mentors to support the transition. If you need to get in touch with the right person going forward, feel free to reach out and we will help you.

Thank you for being part of JU Solar Team 2025’s journey. We are proud to hand things over to the next team and look forward to supporting them, cheering them on, and following everything they will accomplish ⭐️

The 2025 team chose to integrate Ensten’s Current One system as the core of our electrical architecture ⭐️

Designed for efficiency and reliability, Current One provides stable performance and minimizes energy loss throughout the competition — allowing the team to focus on optimizing aerodynamics, telemetry, and energy management.

Ensten commented:

“We’re proud to have contributed our experience and technology to support the team’s success at the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2025, and we look forward to future collaborations that push the limits of solar mobility.”

Thank you Ensten, for the help — we’re glad to have this collaboration! ⭐️

Today, ErikDahlbergs gymnasiet visited the School of Engineering at Jönköping University to learn more about our civil engineering programs! ⭐️

Three students from JU Solar Team, all studying Product Development and Industrial Design Engineering, held a presentation, a quiz, and a fun challenge where the visitors built cars out of LEGO.

We also presented our solar car project, talked about our journey to Australia, and showed the 2023 solar car 🏎️

Great to see so many engaged students! ⭐️

Yesterday, the School of Engineering at Jönköping University! ⭐️

They shared their excitement about our current position in the competition — 8th place!

We were celebrated for arriving a full day earlier than any JU Solar Team has done before, for being the best Swedish team, and for breaking the Nordic record!

Many people came to listen and show their support, and we were even treated to a free lunch.

A big thank you for the warm welcome, and to the school for organizing everything for us — we are truly grateful! ⭐️

A Journey to Remember ⭐️

Twelve days ago, we crossed the finish line at the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge. It was the moment that closed a chapter we had been writing for a year and a half — one filled with challenges, determination, and teamwork.

From countless late nights to unexpected setbacks, this project has pushed us in ways we never imagined. But it also gave us moments of pure joy, breakthroughs we celebrated together, and the chance to build something extraordinary as one team.

This time, all that work led to something historic: we reached the finish line six hours faster than the previous Swedish team — and for the first time ever, a Nordic team crossed the finish line a full day earlier than anyone before us.

The result? 8th place in the world and a new Swedish and Nordic record. But more than anything, we are proud of the journey itself — of everything we learned, everyone who supported us, and the memories we’ll carry with us forever.

To our sponsors, families, and friends: thank you for believing in us. This achievement belongs to all of you too ⭐️

We’ve now passed the first – and very last – checkpoint of the race: Port Augusta! ⭐️

It opened yesterday, August 27th, and will close tomorrow, August 29th. We’ve driven approximately 2,720 km from Darwin, which was our starting line.

Nils was the first driver, then handed over to Kevin, who is now driving the final stretch for today. Wish us good luck! 🙌

28/08/2025

Good morning! We’ve just left camp and are now hitting the road for day five of our journey ⭐️

With around 2,614 km already behind us, the finish line feels closer than ever!

Rolling into our 9th and final control stop
→ Port Augusta.

We’ve now left our second and final control stop for the day – Glendambo, which is Control Stop 8 in the competition ⭐️

It opens today at 10:00 and closes at 17:00 tomorrow. Glendambo is located about 2,430 km from the starting line in Darwin.

Now it’s Ellie’s turn to drive the solar car as we head to our campsite for the night 🌒

You might be wondering: how do we survive out here in the outback? Do we have food? Are we having fun? The answer is: absolutely, yes 💪

We start our mornings with great energy, thanks to Per’s amazing breakfasts – which often carry us through to lunch in the cars. In the evenings, we all come together to enjoy dinner as a team.

Jesper, one of our team members, is a master of morning yoga – and honestly, what better way to start a day of driving than with a good stretch?

So yes, we’re happy, we’re having fun, we’re hyping each other up, and we’re soaking in the beauty of the Australian landscape.

And best of all? We sleep incredibly well in our Thule tents, so thank you Thule ⛺️

Now we’re making the most of Day 4 in the competition ⭐️

Bridgestone World Solar Challenge

Now we’ve just left the first control stop of the day – Coober Pedy ⭐️

The control stop opened yesterday, Tuesday the 26th at 16:00, and will close tomorrow, Thursday the 28th at 13:00.
Coober Pedy is located about 2,180 km from the starting line in Darwin.

Due to strong winds today, we had to act as a human wind shield to protect the solar car.
Now we’re back on the road. Nils was the first driver of the day and has just swapped with Kevin, who will drive to the next control stop: Glendambo 🏎️
