Waterloo makes key contribution to green concept car
An all-Canadian electric vehicle caused a sensation when it was unveiled at the Canadian International AutoShow in Toronto last month. People raved about the Arrow’s sleek, 3D-printed chassis, or gushed over its solar-panel roof and a steering wheel that can tell if a driver is in a medical emergency.
But what they couldn’t see beneath those cutting-edge wonders was what makes the one-of-a-kind SUV go — something made possible by more than a year of work by engineers at the University of Waterloo.
