The University of Texas Solar Vehicles Team is a student organization sponsored by the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. The team consists of a diverse range of students from the Cockrell School of Engineering and the College of Liberal Arts. Under the guidance of Professor Gary Hallock, students raise funds, design, build, test, and race vehicles powered only by the sun.

The team's current car is named Solar Steer, which was completed in 2005 for the North American Solar Challenge. In addition to fine-tuning Solar Steer, the team is currently in the process of designing and raising funds for a new car, set to debut in 2008. The new car will not only be capable of delivering more power, but there will be significant advances with respect to safety.

This unique endeavor has fostered personal growth, cultivated friendships, and furthered education among all of those involved. We hope you will join us our effort to make a profound difference that will persevere long after the checkered flag is flown.
