The Challenge for 2013:

HALF! Lightweight with a Passion 

Participants are asked to explore lightweight vehicle development by designing a family vehicle capable of transporting between four and six people, meeting consumer demands for safety and comfort, usable on the current road infrastructure, and production feasible using materials, powertrain solutions, or manufacturing solutions that are in use today or in development for use in the foreseeable future.

Deliverables:

1. 2D renderings/drawings/sketches illustrating vehicle architecture from a minimum of three perspectives—at least one with context of people and intended driving environment.
2. 2D renderings/drawings/sketches illustrating the tire and wheel assembly from a minimum of three perspectives, including dimensions and specifications.
3. Description of materials or manufacturing process enabling the innovation.
4. A brief (200 word) essay on the envisioned targeted usage and benefits, as well as expected trends for the size of wheels and tires in the future.
