EcoCAR 2 – Advanced Vehicle Competitions

North American university teams have been hard at work designing and refining advanced propulsion technologies for implementation in a General Motors-donated vehicle. Their challenge is to reduce the environmental impact of a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu by improving its fuel efficiency and reducing its emissions while retaining its performance and consumer appeal. Throughout the ten days, vehicles participate in engineering test similar to those conducted by the automotive industry to determine a prototype’s readiness for production, and ultimately prove the viability of their advanced technology vehicles.
