Dell-Winston School Solar Car Challenge : read more

The Dell-Winston School Solar Car Challenge was established ten years ago to help motivate students in science and engineering. The Challenge, a part of The Winston School in Dallas, teaches high school students around the world how to build roadworthy solar cars. We then provide a safe environment for them to display their solar cars. On even-numbered years, we share the fun of the world-famous Texas Motor Speedway; on odd-numbered years, the teams drive cross-country to share their projects with millions of people.

Toyota Motor Sales USA : read more

The king of hybrid cars, the Toyota Prius, will offer a third generation hybrid drive sometime in 2009 as a 2010 model. The third generation Prius will be a little bigger, faster and 10 - 20 percent more fuel efficient than the second generation Prius. That could mean more than 50 mpg on the highway, and as high as 60 in the city - conservatively speaking - in a body 3 to 4 inches longer and an inch wider. Obviously, those whom have mastered the art of hybrid driving will achieve far better numbers.
