Experimental+Car

Experimental Car from UW

Concept:

Bring the experimental car from UW to the Summit as an educational and environmental focus. The Vehicle Research Institute is working on Viking 23, a student-build biodiesel/ electric AWD hybrid sports coupe currently being designed and tested by students. The car is currently rated by the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association, the Tour de Sol’s governing body, at 88 miles per gallon on bio-diesel and runs up to twenty five miles as a Zero Emissions Vehicle before regeneration is required. The professor, Eric Leonhardt, is available and interested in bringing the car to the event.
