We are proud to share that ‘Green Torque MCE’ team has participated in SAE India REEV (Range Extended Electric Vehicle) Competition 2026 held at GITAM University, Bangalore on 23rd and 24th January 2026.

This national-level competition provided an excellent platform to showcase innovation, teamwork, and hands-on learning in electric vehicle technology alongside talented teams from across the country.

Our team of 15 dedicated students, guided by the Faculty Coordinator Dr. Shashank Lingappa M, worked tirelessly to bring the vehicle to life. After successfully clearing the Static Evaluation, the team advanced to the Dynamic Tests, confidently completing both the Braking Test and the Acceleration Test. 

On 24th January 2026, the team participated in the Endurance Test, the most crucial phase of the competition. The vehicle successfully completed multiple laps, demonstrating reliability, battery efficiency, and mechanical strength under continuous operation. The team secured an impressive 4th place overall.
