Vehicle design summit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vehicle Design Summit is an initiative to develop an international design team capable of solving global problems in the public domain.

To jump-start this effort, VDS 1 took place at MIT between June 13 and August 13 at MIT when a group of 55 student engineers from all around the world came together to develop a fleet of super-efficient vehicles. During the eight-week period, four vehicles designed and built around a set of four propulsion technologies; hydrogen, biofuel, human-power, and electricity. Each core technology was selected to enable discussion about a more general topic, specifically polyculture, grid vs. distributed energy generation, biological hydrogen production, and transportation in developing countries.
