Tshwane University of Technology’s student engineering team has won the 2026 Solar Challenge with their SunChaser 4 solar car.

They became the first South African team to complete the 2,369-point-two-kilometre route from Sasolburg to Paarl without putting the car on a trailer.
The eight-day journey followed months of engineering and testing, with Ford engineers providing technical support.
