Electric Car of Mechanical Engineering UB Aristo Students of Mechanical Engineering Universitas Brawijaya launch a fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly car named Aristo. Aristo was officially launched on Thursday (30/5), in Samantha Krida UB building. Witnessed by Rector, Deans, Lecturers, and Students of Mechanical Engineering, Apatte-62 team performed a test drive in Samantha Krida.
