In his discussion with ProPakistani, another team member highlighted that, on an international stage, FERN’s rival teams show up with sponsorships from automotive giants such as Mercedes-AMG, Volkswagen, Porsche, and other major players. “Words cannot express the sense of elation and gratitude that we have for scoring an affiliation with a name such as Tesla.” he remarked.

Previous Track Record

FERN has been a dominant force in the annual Formula Student competitions as well as several other competitions. The team boasts a consistent track record of bagging a podium finish in every global competition that they enter.

Their current project car uses a 5 kWh battery that is good for a range of 22 km. It has a top speed of 120 kph and can go from a standstill to 100 kph in just 4.5 seconds, making it a quicker accelerating vehicle than most cars on Pakistani roads.

The team is currently working on developing several in-house components that it plans to integrate into the upcoming iterations of the vehicle. FERN’s consistent hard work and dedication continue to be a sense of pride for the nation.
