Welcome University of Ottawa Supermileage.




History
We are a small team of engineering students at the University of Ottawa that design and build ultra fuel efficient race vehicles. The team was founded in 2008 in order to satisfy the need to apply knowledge gained in the classroom to real life problems. We enter our vehicle annually in international fuel efficiency competitions for motivation and perpetual improvement.
About the Competition
The purpose of the competitions is to design and build the most fuel-efficient race vehicle. The vehicles must be powered by an internal combustion engine running on gasoline.
Progress
We are currently busy modifying our car for the 2012 Supermileage competition in June. This year we will be using a completely redesigned electrical system as well as a new intake manifold and rear frame. We our hoping to improve our our previous record of 1496 Mpg and are aiming for 3000 Mpg.
You can follow along with the progress at our following pages.
