The Road So Far

The last six months at aCentauri have been a period of intense restructuring and growth. We kicked off our new season in September 2025 by welcoming a wave of new members, expanding the team to a total of 52 members.

Our primary focus for the last few months was recruitment, assessment and comprehensive training of the new members. In this time they developed the fundamental skills required for their respective disciplines and were efficiently integrated in ongoing projects.

In December 2025, our second generation solar car, Silvretta, returned from Australia and safely arrived back at our workshop. This marked the beginning of our next development phase, which is centered on the design, development and simulation of technical improvements.

These improvements will be implemented in Silvretta and tested at the upcoming European Solar Challenge (ESC) in September. Our goal is to refine the concepts and to optimize Silvretta’s performance, in order to build a strong foundation for our next car which will be developed for the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2027 (BWSC) in Australia.

In addition, aCe has successfully reformed its internal organization to improve the team’s agility and efficiency.
