What is
NGLC?

NGLC stands for Nomadic Guild LEVA Challenge. LEVA is our Light Electric Vehicle Association, founded in 2021 to help us deliver talent to the emerging electric vehicle market segment. Together we have developed NGLC to promote and award student excellence in the STEM fields, with a focus on clean, renewable energy and electric vehicles.

Why
NGLC?

Technology development in the field of electric transport is accelerating, with more powerful and efficient drive motors, more capable battery systems and smarter control and management computer systems. The technology of tomorrows motor industry is very much set in electric power. NGLC is an arena where students and industry can come together to engineer tomorrows future.

How
it works

To compete in NGLC, teams are required to purchase an FIA-certified racing go-kart which is petrol powered, and convert it to electric power. Teams are given rules, guidelines and regulations that they must abide by. On April 19th, 2024, all teams will meet at a track (TBA) and go head-to-head with each other to see who built the most capable kart!
