Concept Car
As PTI continues to grow through the development of on-campus student housing and future student resource buildings, we anticipate the need for a multi-purpose vehicle on our campus. This vehicle could transport students, respond to medical emergencies, remove snow and debris, and deliver large items to name just a few of its possible uses.
The 2009-2010 Concept Car Competition challenges high school student teams to design and market a vehicle that could be used on any college campus. Use your creativity to invent your prototype. Make it as versatile as your imagination permits.
- must be a 2012 model ready to hit the market May 2011
- must be off road capable
- must be licensed for use on public roads with appropriate lighting, illumination, turn signals
- must meet safety standards
