Award: INR 5,00,000
Open to: Everyone*

Temperature in mines are relatively high and touches around 50 Deg C during summer. Currently, the vehicle engine is turned on to run the air conditioner in the driver’s cabin. Shift time of operation is 8 hours and total idle time for vehicle in a shift is around 3 hours. In this idle time, engine has to be kept running to keep the air conditioner ON. This eventually increases the fuel consumption and cost of operation. We are looking for a solution which does not require the engine to be running for keeping the air conditioner ON. Following conditions should be met.
