Sponsor Us

The XOF1 project has an innovative spirit that offers you a unique marketing opportunity to promote your organization (products or services) beyond the scale of conventional media. Greater exposure for less advertising dollar. XOF1 is more than a solar car project, it is also an event. A privileged attribute that gives us exclusive undivided media attention.

The growing concern about air pollution and the possibility of an energy crisis is motivating our society toward finding alternatives to our transportation needs. The Xof1 presents a step in the right direction to a balanced co-existence with nature. Perfect timing. In our quest we'll be attempting to set new world records (world record in solar car distance travel, world solar car speed record, driver time, solo drive distance record and world electrical vehicle distance record on a single charge record). A memorable achievement that will be cited for years to come.

Our "Team" is made out of people from all walks of life; ordinary, average people from the grass roots of our society, engineers and students. Some members are participating in the project from their home country, making Xof1 a truly international project.
