2018-2019
The vehicle’s body is similar to the 2017-2018 design, but the chassis has been extensively revamped. Changes include a redesigned rear section for better subsystem mounting, improved front end geometry for increased stiffness, and the use of lighter core materials. Electronics were upgraded with more efficient BLDC motors and an advanced battery management system.
2017-2018
This is our first year transitioning to the battery electric category with a brand-new body, chassis, battery, and custom motor controller. We’re excited about the progress and looking forward to future improvements.

Secured 2nd place in the hydrogen fuel cell category with an impressive efficiency of 11 miles/kWh.
2011-2012
2012 was our first year competing, and since then we have been continually improving. This year, we placed first in the hydrogen fuel cell category with an efficiency of 18 miles/kWh.
