For the 11th iteration of Deep Orange, students will develop a sustainability-focused concept vehicle that is an ultra-efficient, lightweight, highly durable mobility solution for the year 2040 and beyond. Deep Orange 11 empowers students to create a truly sustainable concept with their clean-sheet approach to vehicle design, manufacture and operation by collaborating directly with global industry leaders ExxonMobil and Honda R&D Americas.
As part of the educational experience, students will explore innovations in automotive design such as lighter-weight plastics, liners that keep tires inflated longer, tire tread additives to reduce roll resistance, and advanced fuels and lubricants that improve engine performance.
