The team won $25,000 in scholarship funds for the vehicle, which had to be simple, lightweight, practical, and durable, offer a range of at least 125 miles, accommodate at least two passengers and be priced no more than $7,000.
The base model is a mini-size pick-up version of a three-seater, with passengers accommodated next to each other. With the driver's seat centrally located, there are no extra costs for right-hand-drive or left-hand-drive versions. CO2 emissions would vary between 54 and 100g/km depending on the chosen propulsion system.
