The EcoCAR Challenge is a three-year competition that builds on
the 19-year history of DOE advanced vehicle technology competitions
by giving engineering students the chance to design and build
advanced vehicles that demonstrate leading-edge automotive
technologies, with the goal of minimizing the environmental impact
of personal transportation and illustrating pathways to a
sustainable transportation future. DOE has again joined General
Motors (GM), the Government of Canada (Transport Canada, Natural
Resources Canada), and other sponsors for this new competition
series, named the EcoCAR Challenge. Argonne National Laboratory, a
DOE research and development facility, will organize and operate the
EcoCAR Challenge.
