Argonne organizes and operates these competitions to
- Accelerate the development and demonstration of technologies of interest to
DOE and the automotive industry,
- Provide the automotive industry with a new generation of engineering leaders
with highly desirable experience, and
- Help prepare the market to accept advanced vehicle technologies.
The current competition is EcoCAR2: Plugging into the Future.
