The performance of the 3 square meter solar cells on the roof is 833 W. The accumulators make use of 1316 Panasonic NCR 18650B lithium-ion batteries.

This class segment emphasised the practicality of the vehicle as a daily commute with the development of solar energy in the focus.

For the first time, a solar car from Bochum crossed the goal of 3,000 km without a glitch through the Australian Outback, and was at the end, world vice-champion.

In October 2014 the PowerCore SunCruiser together with the previous model and the "Weltumrundler" SolarWorld GT took part in the MacCready Solar Challenge (ESC).

Diary entries, pictures, galleries and videos by ESC 2014 are on the solar car web site of the University of Bochum.
