What is EcoCAR?
The EcoCAR EV Challenge is a four-year Advanced Vechile Techonlogy Competition (AVTC) sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy, General Motors (GM) and, Mathworks, and managed by the Argonne National Laboratory.
What does EcoCAR do?
EcoCAR teams experience a hands-on, real-world environment that exposes students to industry-grade components, tools, and methods, and connects students with subject matter experts (SME) and mentors. The four-year competition series will reflect industry best practices with expanded focus on model-based design, vehicle connectivity, and automated controls development.
General Motors provides each team with a 2023 Cadillac LYRIQ where teams demonstrate the
potential of advanced propulsion systems, connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies, and other innovative technologies to analyze energy efficiency. EcoCAR teams utilize a combination of on-board sensors and bidirectional vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity to implement energy efficient and customer- pleasing automated control features.
