The EcoCAR Team at the Ohio State University is a group of undergraduate and graduate students who convert a Saturn Vue (Donated by GM) into a vehicle with higher fuel economy and lower emissions, while maintaining performance and consumer acceptability. We compete with 16 other universities throughout North America in an annual EcoCAR Challenge competition. This competition evaluates vehicle design in a variety of dynamic and static events over the course of 3 years of the automotive design process.
