Georgia Tech EcoCar

Meet the team behind the car. 🐝⚡

From engineering and controls to communications, business, and everything in between, Georgia Tech EcoCAR brings together students from across campus with one goal: building the future!

There’s a lot that goes on at EcoCAR, and none of it happens without the incredible group of students, faculty, and mentors who make up this team.

Here’s to another year of learning, building, testing, creating, and pushing ourselves forward together.

This is Georgia Tech EcoCAR. 💛🖤

🏆 Georgia Tech takes 1st Overall in the EcoCAR EV Challenge Year 4 Finals!

This achievement reflects years of hard work, technical excellence, and countless hours spent designing, testing, and refining our vehicle. From competition preparation to on-track performance, every member of the team contributed to this success.

Thank you to our faculty advisors, sponsors, mentors, alumni, and supporters for helping make this accomplishment possible.

What a way to close out Year 4. ⚡️

The beginning of Week 2 of competition was all about the team presentations! 📊🐝 Each subteam got the opportunity to showcase our work to industry sponsors and receive feedback after months of hard work. After two days of presentations, students and sponsors got to network, talk careers, and just hang out a bit more. Plus, we got cool swag :)

Week 1 of the EcoCAR EV Challenge Year 4 Finals ⚡️

The Georgia Tech EcoCAR team spent the week at GM’s Milford Proving Ground testing our vehicle’s capabilities and pushing boundaries during Stage 1 Dynamic Vehicle Evaluations. From testing and vehicle evaluations to consumer ride events, it was incredible seeing a year of hard work come to life on track.

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 🔧

Our sponsors support us in so many ways, and they’re everywhere. Our Communications Manager loves spotting them out in the world and snapping a photo whenever she can. From Siemens right here in Atlanta to Bosch all the way in Morocco during her travels, their impact truly reaches far beyond our team 🗺️🚗

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. ❤️🚗
