AIKO has announced a collaboration with Nordlys NTNU, the innovative solar car team from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the partnership reflecting the company’s  commitment to supporting cutting-edge sustainability initiatives and advancing renewable energy solutions.

As the first solar car team from Norway, Nordlys NTNU is breaking new ground by competing in the World Solar Challenge, a gruelling 3,000-kilometer race across the harsh Australian outback. Known for its unforgiving conditions, the race route subjects teams to extreme temperatures, intense solar radiation and rugged terrain. Competing cars must navigate through arid deserts and unpredictable weather patterns, testing the limits of solar innovation and endurance.

AIKO CMO Jessica Zhang commented: “We are delighted to partner with Nordlys NTNU, Norway’s first solar racing team, as it tackles one of the most challenging solar races in the world. Its innovative spirit aligns seamlessly with AIKO’s dedication to creating high-efficiency solar technologies that can withstand the toughest environments.”

Sivert Sande Kverme, founder and project leader at Nordlys NTNU, added: “As it is our first car, we are choosing mostly safe technologies and solutions. However, an exciting possibility we have is to collaborate with AIKO, using its cutting-edge ABC (All Back Contact) cells for our solar modules. These cells are well known for delivering world-leading efficiency in  modules, and we are eager to see how this will boost our final car’s performance.”
