Can sustainability and desirability comfortably co-exist in a practical, affordable automobile that tops 100 miles per gallon and is profitable to manufacture? This is the question that Team ULV-3 will answer in the coming months with a clever, yet pragmatic approach to a next-generation 4-seat sports car designed to win the Progressive Insurance Automotive X PRIZE in 2010.
With growing angst over shrinking fossil fuel supplies and global warming, the world searches feverishly for the holy grail of sustainable solutions for transportation as we know it. And while a singular solution remains out of reach, progressive enterprises with fresh thinking and intelligent technologies can move us rapidly toward the future. Team ULV-3 is one such group.
Please join us on our journey to create smart solutions to some of the world’s most vexing problems, and then prove their value using the brand new Lotus Evora platform on the high-visibility stage of the Automotive X PRIZE.
