Georgia Tech EcoCar

Taking our vehicle off campus and into the real world. We were able to get student feedback in real conditions.
A huge thank you to Professor Timberlake for being an incredible point of contact and helping make this event possible. It was great collaborating with another college to create a fantastic event that brought together students beyond our university and connected with the local community through meaningful outreach.
Shoutout to everyone who helped make this happen and to the team for being flexible.

We’ve been putting the final touches on the car as we get closer to competition 🛠️🏁 We focused on the details that really make a difference—adding carpet and Velcro to cover exposed bolts and metal for a cleaner, more polished look. To top it off, we’re adding black trim and a full black interior, getting it competition-ready and looking its best 🖤✨
We also wrapped up the false floor in the trunk, where we fabricated an aluminum skeleton with a wood and carpet cover, adding extra storage space underneath 🔧

We recently hosted a Ride & Drive at the MRDC parking lot for Georgia Tech employees, and it meant a lot to share this moment with the people who have helped us along the way. Our project depends on so much behind-the-scenes support, from coordinating travel and ordering parts to handling logistics, communications, and institute-wide connections.

Many of the individuals who joined us are people we’ve worked with over the past four years through emails, meetings, and countless forms of support that often go unseen. This event was a small way to say thank you by inviting them to experience the car they’ve helped make possible. It was special to finally put faces to names and share in something we’ve all contributed to together. ❤️🚗

We have a big news at GT EcoCAR!! 🐝🚗

Our team has officially been selected to participate at the EcoCAR Innovation Challenge, sponsored by the US Department of Energy, General Motors, Stellantis, MathWorks, Argonne, and more amazing sponsors!

This next phase will have us work with the Chevrolet Blazer EV as we continue developing, integrating, and testing advanced vehicle systems. Some of our team members and faculty advisor attended the official challenge launch this week!

We are excited for this next cycle as we build on what this team has accomplished and blaze forward into the next phase of the program.
