Meet Sakura Chiwata, our System Design & Integration Undergraduate Deputy Lead! ⚙️💡

From refining rear cargo subsystem designs to coordinating across multiple subteams, Sakura has played a key role in helping our vehicle become competition-ready for Year 4 of the EcoCAR EV Challenge.

Thank you to the partners who make our journey possible.
From providing cutting-edge technology to supporting our development every step of the way, our sponsors empower us to innovate, test, and push the limits of what’s possible.

Thank you to for supporting our EcoCAR journey

Your expertise and partnership help us design, test, and bring real-world vehicle innovations to life. We’re grateful for your continued support in shaping the future of mobility.

From simulation to real-world performance ⚙️
Our PCM team uses MATLAB & Simulink to design, model, and validate control systems—ensuring our vehicle operates efficiently and reliably before it ever hits the road. This work is essential for integrating powertrain controls and optimizing overall system performance.

From virtual models to real-world impact ⚙️
Our SDI team leverages Siemens NX to take precise measurements, prototype component mounts, and validate designs through simulation. This work plays a key role in integrating systems and ensuring our vehicle is ready for competition.
