Solar car sponsor

Birmingham-based Tufnol Composites has become a sponsor of the Durham University Electric Motorsport (DUEM) team’s solar car development project.

Tufnol Composites is supplying the School of Engineering & Computer Science with high performance industrial laminates that can be used for a variety of applications on the development vehicle.

Roy Thomason, MD of Tufnol Composites, said: “Many institutions like Durham University are carrying out invaluable pioneering work on different ways of using renewable technologies, such as solar, to create energy. These developments will inevitably lead to new innovations in transport for the wider public.”
