CUTTACK: Odisha can now boast of having its first indigenously-designed electric car, thanks to the mechanical engineering students of Bhubanananda Odisha School of Engineering (BOSE).
Named ‘BOSE 100’, the car has been conceptualised, designed and manufactured from scratch in-house by students and faculty members of the mechanical department of BOSE, which includes fabrication of the chassis to assembling of the body parts besides selection of the electric powertrains.
A two-seater front-wheel drive car, it took around six months for the students to ideate and manufacture the vehicle. The test drive was conducted from BOSE to Trisulia to Khurda and back recently.
