MSc. Nguyen Ngoc Thanh, Head of the Faculty of Dynamic Mechanics - Cao Thang Technical College, said that this is the 10th time the school has organized the contest. The participating model cars are remotely controlled by phone via wifi, automatically controlled - connected, using Hybrid technology (a combination of gasoline engine and electric motor).

“In the context of climate change and the global trend of smart transportation, bringing green, economical and sustainable technology into technicaleducation is the top choice. The competition is not only a healthy and attractive playground for students but also arouses the spirit of creativity and responsibility to protect the living environment. In the future, this competition aims at programming cars that can run automatically,” said MSc. Thanh.

The model car designed and manufactured by students uses a 2-stroke gasoline engine with a capacity of 22 - 33cm3, with the same structure and operating principle as a real car.

Tran Quoc Vuong, a first-year student at Cao Thang Technical College, excitedly said that this was the first time the group participated in the competition and immediately won the highest prize of the competition.

"Our group has 4 members. In the days leading up to the exam, the group stayed up all night to try and try again many times. In addition, the teachers at the school also supported the group a lot. Thanks to that, the "super car" ran smoothly on the racetrack" - group leader Quoc Vuong said with a smile.

In particular, the contest team with a product with a creative and unique technical solution in terms of features, aesthetics and economy, most similar to the actual structure, will be selected by the school as a model to be used in teaching.
