On Saturday, June 28 at 6:00pm students from the University of Vermont
Alternative Energy Racing Organization (UVM AERO)[1] will demonstrate
their first vehicle design project, codenamed GreenSpeed.

This is an open-wheeled, mid-engine, hybrid-powered racecar built to prove
that performance and efficiency do not have to be mutually exclusive. It
sports regenerative braking, all-wheel-drive, and a computer-controlled
driver-assist. The car was entered in the 2008 International Formula
Hybrid Competition held on May 5-7.[2]

Saturday's demonstration will take place on the University Heights section
of the UVM campus. Please follow signs from Main Street (across from the
Davis Student Center) and see the map link[3] below.

The demonstration is in collaboration with the Governor's Institute of
Vermont[4] but the public is invited to join the celebration (bring your
kids!). This project is a labor of love for the AERO team who are
dedicated to finding sustainable answers to the looming challenges facing
our world. Please come and share the excitement!

Cheers,

Andrew Laing
AERO 2008, Team Leader
