Students from the University of Waterloo, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and the University of Victoria today joined representatives from the federal government and General Motors to launch the universities’ participation in EcoCAR 2: Plugging in to the Future. The latest advanced technology vehicle competition challenges these Canadian engineering students, together with 13 U.S. university teams, to reduce the environmental impact of vehicles without compromising performance, safety and other features. EcoCAR 2 builds on the success of the EcoCAR competition that saw the University of Waterloo’s Alternative Fuels Team place third overall.
