ITS Campus, ITS News – The Nogogeni Team of the Institut Teknologi Sepuluh November (ITS) is a research team that focuses on developing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient vehicles. Because of their innovative work in electric cars, the ITS Nogogeni Team received an award from the Indonesian Electric Vehicle Industry Association (Periklindo) as a young innovator of future mobility in pioneering industries.

This award was directly given by the General Chairperson of Periklindo General TNI (Ret.) Dr. H Moeldoko Ginting SIP at the signing of the 2022 Periklindo Electric Vehicle Show cooperation. “This award is a form of appreciation for the role of the Nogogeni team as young innovators in the field of electric vehicles,” said General ITS Nogogeni team manager Dimas Andi Setiawan.

Submission of donations and awards by the General Chairperson of Periklindo General TNI (Ret.) Dr. H Moeldoko Ginting SIP to the supervisor of the ITS Nogogeni Team Dedy Zulhidayat Noor ST MT Ph.D. and Head of the ITS Industrial Mechanical Engineering Department Dr. Ir Heru Mirmanto MT

Dimas explained that several examples of criteria considered in this award include the existence of the research carried out, the work of the team, and the achievements that have been achieved. “The achievements that the ITS Nogogeni team has achieved are the result of this team’s consistency in carrying out updates,” said Dedy Zulhidayat Noor ST MT Ph.D., the ITS Nogogeni team coach.

Dimas said the ITS Nogogeni team had created an innovation in the form of a controller that could regulate the current from the battery. This tool allows the electric motor to be conditioned according to the needs of the race. “Periklindo itself supports our work and hopes that we can encourage technological development in Indonesia in the field of electric vehicles,” said the 2018 ITS student.

The award is considered to add a new network in electric car development so that they can share knowledge and support each other. “We are currently researching with a member of Periklindo to develop an electric vehicle for transporting garbage in the West Surabaya area,” said this student from the ITS Industrial Mechanical Engineering Department.

The award from Perikliindo was given as a form of appreciation for the role of the ITS Nogogeni team in the world of electric vehicles.

According to Dimas, this award is an additional spirit for the ITS Nogogeni team in working in the future. He has high hopes for the Nogogeni ITS team he leads. “I hope that in the future, the ITS Nogogeni team can take a role in the massization of electric vehicles in Indonesia,” he said.

Meanwhile, as a team coach, Dedy, a lecturer at the ITS Industrial Mechanical Engineering Department, also expressed his hopes after the award received by the ITS Nogogeni team. “Hopefully, the ITS Nogogeni team can help overcome environmental problems by creating products that can support the acceleration of the shift to electric vehicles,” he hoped.
