The University of Waterloo comes home with an award from the EcoCAR Challenge in San Diego.
16 universities, including three from Canada, took part.
It’s the culmination of a three-year competition which had students re-engineer a GM vehicle.
Their task: to make it more fuel efficient and reduce emissions, while at the same time ensuring it remains safe and maintains its performance.
The team from the University of Waterloo placed eighth overall and won the NSF Outstanding Long Term Advisor award.
