Watch car design students putting their work to the test, and study revolutionary new forms of vehicles—and roads—that are coming into real-world use. Key developments featured in this program include: a silent, battery-powered urban vehicle from Global Electric Motorcars; paving technology made from recycled tires that helps create new highways over old railway lines; the ethanol-powered Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram Flex Fuel vehicles; and the sophisticated design and engineering processes that went into the Mercedes Benz R-Class. A visit to Britain’s Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome and Proving Ground reveals the challenges faced by students from around the world as they build engineering skills. Part of the Auto Innovations: The Art and Science of Car Engineering Series of 13 videos.
