TEAM KRAFTWAGEN’s REPORT for

BAJA SAEINDIA 2016

Baja SAE is an international intercollegiate competition powered by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
where engineering students are encouraged to design, build and race off-road vehicles that can withstand rugged
terrains.

The 9th season of Baja SAEINDIA 2016 was held between 18h & 21st February, 2016 & was organized at NATRIP
facility, Pithampur, near Indore. A whopping bulk of 400 teams accounting from IITs, NITs, RECs and private
engineering institutions, had registered for this season of Baja SAEINDIA , out of which only 150 teams were
qualified to manufacture their proposed design. However, only 100 teams could make it to the Endurance round.

Team Kraftwagen’s proud ATV- LEGACY 4.0, your trusted ATV for BAJA 2016 was an eye candy for the event and it
gained laurels in various errands of the competition. Not only did it manage to turn heads due to its vibrant colors
but it also earned respectful pats from the jury events for its pure performance.

Legacy 4.0 cleared its technical inspection on the zeroth day itself. Only 8 out of 150 teams
cleared it on the zeroth day. Day 1 was followed dynamic & static events. Day 2 accounted
for the most memorable day where we outperformed ourselves in suspension traction
event. Day 3 was the final day for endurance race where despite of a minor glitch we
managed to complete 5 laps of the 4.7km rugged track.

Endurance Race
Despite the introduction of
novelties in Transmission,
Suspension & Frame material of
the vehicle, it performed in the
desired manner. Incorporation of
such massive decisions for the
team could not be feasible hadn’t
it received your support and well
wishes.

LEGACY 4.0 was praised for its

built quality and aesthetics by every jury on the panel throughout the event and was set as an example for the
teams we once feared of. Our overall performance in BAJA 2016 was remarkable and we look forward to perform
better for the next year.

We sincerely appreciate the willingness with which you have and continue to sponsor our efforts to make our
