MIT Vehicle Design Summit Targeting 500MPG Equivalence (or Better)

Students from around the world are participating in the MIT Vehicle Design Summit (VDS) this summer to design and build vehicles based on integrating hydrogen fuel cells, photovoltaics, biofuels, and human power.

The VDS organizers winnowed through the pooled research recommendations of the participants to select five basic designs: fuel cell; biofuel; human/solar hybrid; retrofit; and Th!nk Car.
