We usually do not post about non-Spied Car pictures at Car Spy Guide, but here is an exception. I want to bring your attention to the work of the Missouri S&T’s EcoCAR team. The EcoCAR competition is amongst 17 schools, and will challenge university engineering students across North America to re-engineer a Saturn VUE to achieve improved fuel economy and reduced greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining the vehicle’s utility, safety, and performance. What makes Missouri S&T’s project so unique is its commitment to hydrogen energy. Being the only school to use hydrogen as its source of energy shows Missouri S&T’s commitment to the future of transportation without relying on gasoline.

Missouri S&T is also building onto its EcoCAR project by undertaking: E3 Commons. This focuses on the creation of practical fueling stations and a garage for their newly created hydrogen powered.
