Team APET-X is the only team from Asia participating in the Mainstream competition. We focused on making a highly efficient, yet very competitive vehicle in terms of costs and selling price. We achieved this by integrating a great team from the Greater China regions of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China, gathering the best human resources with the lowest possible price available.

Our own branded Salamander NIMH prismatic battery allows us to pack as much energy as we can with high C rate discharge, without running the risk of explosion and over-heating. Our motor is super efficient at over 94%, and without much loss from electricity to movement, the motor can be cooled by a fan only, greatly reducing the weight for carrying a water cooling system.

Our design controlling the battery’s balance is unique. By applying the monitoring of the cell next to it, the system can “naturally” balance out the battery's abnormality. Our CANBUS is written by LINUX, allowing open source operators to create their own programming for their cars. In addition, with such open source system, all component providers can supply to future APET-X car owners.
