• Use of inboard braking system makes our vehicle different from others, which replaces the
rotor and calliper assembly from the rear wheels and instead a single rotor and calliper is
attached to the rear axle so that when the brake is applied, the system stops both of the rear
wheels.

a certain extent by reducing the tie rod lengths and providing some extra ease in handling
during bumps or droops.

The ASME Student Chapter at IIEST Shibpur was established in 2019, with the sole aim of
enabling students to develop professional and technical skills and getting them acquainted
with the rapidly developing fields of engineering. As a part of this chapter, students participate
in various inter-collegiate and design competitions and organise various events. The chapter
has been organising sessions, seminars and competitions to get students acquainted with
latest avenues of research and innovation in Mechanical Engineering.

The Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ISHRAE) was
founded in 1981 at New Delhi by a group of eminent HVAC&R professionals. ISHRAE operates NOTABLE ACTIVITIES
from over 42 Chapters and sub Chapters spread all over India with headquarter in Delhi.
