Helping young engineering talent shine: Siemens sponsors the University of Johannesburg

A group of students from the University of Johannesburg (UJ) are counting down the days before the solar powered vehicle they have designed and built, is put to the ultimate test in the upcoming Sasol Solar Challenge, an epic two-week race across the most demanding terrain in South Africa. Their car, the Illanga II, inspired by the Zulu word for the Sun, will be amongst the twelve local and international vehicles competing in the race. “As a global leader in environmental technologies, Siemens, along with other major South African companies like Eskom and MTN, is proud to be supporting the team of students from UJ in this exciting project to help promote innovation and engineering excellence in South Africa’s renewable energy market,” says Siegmar Proebstl, CEO of Siemens Africa.
