Engineered
for distance.
A student engineering team at RV College of Engineering, building ultra-efficient vehicles for international competition. Twenty years of super-mileage prototypes. Pivot to battery-electric since 2018.
More distance per drop.
GARUDA is a multidisciplinary student engineering club at RV College of Engineering. From concept sketches to competition grids, we design and build super-mileage vehicles that question the limits of automotive efficiency.
Two decades of prototypes, eleven cars, and a long run at Shell Eco-marathon Asia — IC-engined through 2016, fully electric since 2018. Built by undergraduates, one batch at a time.

Every prototype that has carried the GARUDA name was sketched, machined, and driven by undergraduates from RV College of Engineering. The cars are professional. The team is not. XD
