Team Traxion Racing

The SAE(Society of Automotive Engineers) Collegiate Club of our college completed it's team selection for the BAJA 2016 on April 2015. The team, called TraXion comprises of Third and Fourth year Automobile and Mechanical engineers of our college.This will be the 6th time that our college will be participating in the Main Event of SAEINDIA BAJA and our previous best record at the Main Event was the 18th Position.

We completed the VIRTUAL ROUND conducted recently (July 10th and 11th) by SAEINDIA at Chitkara University, Chandigarh.

A total of 396 teams all over India had appeared for the Virtual Event at Chandigarh which includes colleges like NIT Trichy, IIT Varnasi, BITS Goa, etc. A Total of 152 Colleges were selected ‘Eligible’ for the MAIN EVENT of BAJA. Team TraXion 16 captured 3rd place by scoring 88/100 in the Written Test and 94.17/100 in the Presentation. Our college, SVCE has secured a total of 182.17/200 as a total and beats almost every reputed college in India. By far, this is our best performance at the VIRTUAL ROUND.

After clearing the Virtual round, our objective is to build an ATV(All Terrain Vehicle) which would be designed and fabricated by us. The vehicle would be designed in a way that it can easily tackle a rugged terrain. The Off-road vehicle would be a single seater and would compete against other Institutions that bring their ATVs and are subjected to various tests. Based on the performance of each vehicle in a test, points would be awarded and the team with the highest number of points at the end of the Main Event would be considered the winner of SAEINDIA BAJA.

This year, after completing the VIRTUAL ROUND with grand success, we wish to make it even bigger in the Main Event. The cost of the project, for this year is estimated to be INR 7,00,000 (approximate)/-
