University Of Lagos Is Set To Unveil A Zero-emission Car
The University if Lagos is set to unveil a Zero-Emission Car manufactured by a research team in the institution.
A zero-emissions vehicle, or ZEV, is a vehicle that emits no exhaust gas from the onboard source of power. Exhaust gas contains harmful pollutants to the health and the environment such as particulates (soot), hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, ozone, lead, and various oxides of nitrogen.
Prof. Dixon Akinleye, Chairman, Sub Committee (Abstract), made the revelation at a news conference in Lagos to announce the institution’s 14th Research Conference and Fair.
The zero-emission car is one of the products of research grants of about N5 billion that the university has attracted in the last one year.
Prof. Samson Adeosun, the Lead Scientist, led a group of students from the Faculty of Engineering to achieve this feat.
What can you say about this new Research Development?

This what faculties of engineering in our institutions are ment to be doing.
They are not trained on practical basis which contributed to high rate of unemployment in the country.

Wow! This is a fantastic initiative from Unilag, I pray when they finally launch the car, the government will utilise it and make it available and affordable to the public in order to promote development in the transportation sector of the country

This is a very good innovative. I believe the federal government should try to assist most of these universities, because there are a lot of smart lecturers and students alike who can produce magnificent structures which can in turn boost the economy of the country.

Its a good idea but we Nigerians don't promote and value our product.
- Egya Idris - 2019-08-19 16:45:29 Quote
There are many other people who are inventive or innovative, but no one to sponsor them. I wish the government could assist.

It's a plus to the university and the country at large, I think the country should spend its money on reasonable researches like this and not to shared or loot by our politicians.

It is a great feat indeed. Kudos to them. Many great inventions can come out of Nigeria if we have the right environment.

Finally, we are putting our knowledge to work. This is a great one from UNILAG. This is what we expect from our engineering students in all institutions. Can bet this is just the beginning. Good one.

It's a very good development and if used officially then it will go a long way in reducing pollution in nigeria. After seeing it today I doubt the Nigerian government will say anything about which will make very easy to be forgotten

It a good development that deserve accolades. If other universities in Nigeria can emulate this step, I think they will have long way to go above there counterpart in Africa and the world at large

I think this serves as a kind of challenge to other engineering students in other institutions.I love this achievement of theirs which gives us the hope of developing our country with the good products of our instutions.At least,if the government supports them,it gives them these ethusiastic desire to achieve greater things just like the developed countries.

Wow I love this at least our govt shulld support this project, it's a good development which will benefit Nigeria in the future and increse the economy of Nigeria.. pray the car will be lunched sooner
Nice technology advance
- Nora Chidera - 2019-08-19 21:42:09 Quote
Nice but I don't think that will be possible because there is no way the total power put into the engine will be equal to the power given out by the engine, there must be a power loss

This is a great idea and a good development that's what's expected from our institutions kudos to unilag.

This is great, welldone guys. This would really bring about so much progress in dealing with global warming if the mechanism could be incopotated into all generators, motorcycles, and virtually everything that makes use of an exhaust valve that emits substances such as Carbon monoxide, soot and any other that contributes to global warming.
- Ikpeme Emmanuel Peter - 2019-08-27 11:05:27 Quote
The new innovation, which is the ZEV is a welcomed development worthy of showcasing in Nigeria, special congratulations to the lecturers and students alike.
I think all other Universities should follow suit.

This is a great news and a plus the country Nigeria,this is what education should emit you go school to look for solutions to an existing problem in your society and not looking for who to employ you

Its so true reading always is not good. The brain needs rest to refresh. I think having a good plan for studies is better than reading always. The brain needs rest , so you need to sleep and refresh.
