UVic EcoCAR team chosen for round 2

Over the last three years, UVic’s EcoCAR team—comprised of engineering, business and humanities students—has been pitting the design of its fuel-efficient, low-emission car of the future against 15 North American universities in the EcoCAR–Next Challenge. This competition will conclude in June 2011 with the competition finals (June 6-16). UVic is the only university in Western Canada, and one of just three Canadian post-secondary institutions, to be invited to round two of the international EcoCAR competition. “EcoCAR 2–Plugging into the Future”⎯will see the development of more advanced powertrain and vehicle technologies.
