Press Release,
2010: A surprise
(given the
budget
tightness)
second-place
finishes at the
SAE Super
Mileage
Competition. The
University of
Ottawa’s
slippery car has
truly earned the
term fuel
efficient, being
able to travel
from Ottawa to
Winnipeg (2,500
kilometres) on a
single gallon of
regular unleaded
gasoline. A
considerable
accomplishment
and one that the
design team is
looking to top!
The team is
claiming that
they are already
applying their
experience to
push the car
farther to a
record
shattering 4,800
kilometres on a
single gallon of
gas.
We are a small
team of engineering students at
the University of Ottawa that
design and build ultra fuel
efficient race vehicles. The
team was founded in 2008 in
order to satisfy the need to
apply knowledge gained in the
classroom to real life problems.
We enter our vehicle annually in
international fuel efficiency
competitions for motivation and
perpetual improvement.
