The Semarang State Polytechnic (Polines) student team took part in enlivening the G-20 event in Bali. This opportunity was obtained from a long struggle, starting with the PLN ICE 2022 Competition with the theme of converting fuel oil motorbikes to electric motorbikes, with hundreds of participants from various regions and campuses, both public and private.
"The Semarang State Polytechnic team with their Vysatic motorcycle won 2nd place in the competition and Polines was the only polytechnic out of 9 finalists (8 others from universities) who competed for the championship in Jakarta last October 2022," said Ahmad Hamim Su'udy SPd MT, a lecturer at the Polines Mechanical Engineering Department as the supervisor for the Polines Vysatic student team told the press Thursday (3/11/2022).

Prof Dr Totok Prasetyo BEng (Hons) MT IPU ASEAN.Eng ACPE and all staff who have helped and facilitated the student team a lot.
After the event, the Vysatic Polines team received an invitation from the Jakarta Research and Development Center PLN to participate in the Energy Transition Day (road to G20 Bali) event which was held at Sofitel Nusa Dua Bali 1-2 November 2022.
