The LITECAR Challenge invites designers, scientists, engineers, innovators and fabricators to comprehensively redesign a vehicle using beyond the state-of-the-art solutions to reduce the overall curb weight of modern vehicles.
Participants are encouraged to address novel material technologies, structural designs, energy absorbing materials and devices, and unique methods of manufacturing that allow for lightweight vehicle designs that maintain or exceed current U.S. automotive safety standards.
A panel of expert judges will evaluate entries based on four main criteria: curb weight reduction, vehicle safety, innovation and supporting evidence.
The total prize money for this challenge is $150,000, with a grand prize of $60,000.
Submissions will be accepted until Thursday, March 5 2015 and winners will be announced on Monday, April 20.
