The General Motors and US Department of Energy are sponsoring the EcoCAR 2 competition - a challenge to develop green vehicle technology and educate consumers on the importance of sustainability. Over the next three years, the University of Washington team will compete amongst 15 Universities from the United States and Canada to develop a plug-in hybrid vehicle power train for a donated 2013 Chevrolet Malibu; build a showroom quality vehicle; acquire local sponsors; and launch an exhaustive outreach program intended to educate consumers on green vehicle technology.
