Brunel Solar Team wins Sasol Solar Challenge with Intrax Suspension

The Brunel Solar Team from TU Delft has won the Sasol Solar Challenge in South Africa with a solar car equipped with Intrax suspension. For this unique project we developed a fully custom suspension setup that delivered stability, precision and reliability under the extremely demanding conditions of the competition.

The Sasol Solar Challenge is known as one of the toughest solar races in the world. Teams cover thousands of kilometers through varying climates, from scorching asphalt roads to rough and uneven terrain. Every gram of weight, every aerodynamic detail and every technical solution matters. It was in these extreme conditions that Intrax Suspension proved its value.

Why Intrax Suspension makes the difference

At Intrax we do not develop standard solutions. Every suspension system is fully custom built and tailored to the exact requirements of the project. This ensures maximum grip, optimal stability and predictable response even in the harshest environments.

In a race like the Sasol Solar Challenge every detail counts. Weight, efficiency and reliability can decide between winning and losing. Thanks to our custom engineering, vehicles remain stable at high speed, lose less energy through unnecessary movement and withstand extreme heat, cold and rough surfaces.

Custom engineering without limits

Because we design and build everything in-house, we can create solutions for projects that go far beyond standard applications. No universal kits, but engineering that perfectly matches the construction, use and goals of the team or operator. From lightweight concepts to innovative technologies, we make it possible.

Frequently asked questions

Is Intrax Suspension only for racing?

No. Intrax Suspension is designed to be highly versatile. From daily use to extreme conditions, every system is tailored to the application and the needs of the user.

Can a suspension system really improve efficiency?

Yes. Efficiency is not only about the drivetrain but also about how stable and controlled a vehicle moves. A custom Intrax system reduces energy loss, improves road contact and makes long runs more reliable and efficient.

Is every system unique?

Yes. Every suspension setup we produce is fully custom built, tuned to the specific application and the goals of the project.
