Project Arrow gets $5M of gov funding for zero-emission vehicles
Canada grants $5M to create zero-emission autonomous vehicles
A zero-emissions car designed by students
The project is a great opportunity to create and test new designs and technology. Project Arrow invited university students to submit car design entries. A team of four students from Carleton University’s School of Industrial Design in Ottawa, Ontario, were the winners. They completed their design as a side-project in just 12 weeks during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s unclear whether they received a cash prize. However, it’s a great example of design competitions as a means to build experience and industry connections.
Project Arrow put a call out for suppliers at CES 2021. They are using an AI-enabled technology developed byYQGTechto shift through 300 supplies to match connect proposed parts, systems, and components with those needed to build the car.
The project aims to release and tour the concept car in 2022.
