U of A students finish building zero-emissions vehicle

Engineering students at the University of Alberta have recently put a stamp of approval on their over a year long project dedicated to building a zero-emissions vehicle. The 300-pound car emits only water, has three thousand horsepower, and goes 70 km per hour.

The team will be travelling to the United States where an annual clean car competition is held. The qualification for the top vehicle is not only speed, but its overall design, which is precisely what these U of A students have been focused on.
