Edison2 Car Event

The Future is Here!!!

The Edison2 car, Winner of the $5 million Mainstream class of the Automotive X Prize Mainstream class of 2010 has raised a lot of curiosity in future technology. Edison2 pursues efficiency through the absolute virtues of low weight and low aerodynamic drag.  It demonstrates a capability of 129 miles per gallon.

Edison2 is looking into creating employment here in CO through their activities, mainly the manufacture of this car. This forms the basis of the competition. If the possibility of manufacturing this car in our backyard is realised, the student should explore the effects of such venture.

These cars will be right here at Regis University Main campus on the 12th of October, 2012 in front of the Student Center.  Besides the Entrepreneur Impact Competition that will be held in the morning, we will have ‘Edison2 Tug of War contest, naming of  cars from Starwars, Men in Black, Transformers and many more and awards will be given to all winners. Students are welcomed to participate.
