Update from the Shop

The team has started a new semester and has been keeping busy.  In addition to all our work preparing for the EcoCAR year one competition, we’ve been harvesting parts from some of our past competition vehicles to use in year two of EcoCAR.

Team members remove the EV1 electric motor from the Moolander.  This motor will drive the Saturn Vue the team will receive in August.
