EcoCAR is a vehicle engineering competition primarily focused on advanced vehicle technologies and sustainable transportation. It is organized by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and is part of the Advanced Vehicle Technology Competitions (AVTCs). The competition challenges university students to develop innovative, eco-friendly vehicles that reduce environmental impact while maintaining performance, safety, and consumer appeal. Over several years, student teams work on vehicle design, integrating alternative powertrains, energy-efficient technologies, and smart vehicle systems.
