Iranian university students at Qazvin's Azad University -- northwest of 
Tehran --
have designed and produced a new two-seat electric car.

A fifteen-member team of university students worked on the
new plug-in car for 10 months.

The new car, named the Parax, weighs 450 kg and is lighter than another
electric car that was unveiled at Tehran's Khaje Nasir Toosi University 
last week.

The Qasedak-e-Nasir (Dandelion of Nasir) weighed 700 kg.

Once the battery of the Parax is charged, it can cover a distance of 100 
kilometers
and can reach a velocity of 110 kph, the Mehr News Agency reported.
