EcoCAR 2 Competition Sponsors

The EcoEagles are very appreciative of the support and opportunities provided by the EcoCAR 2 competition sponsors and the individual team’s sponsors. The EcoEagles’ participation in this program would not be possible without the continued support, education and efforts of our sponsors. We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for believing in our abilities to excel at this competition and allowing us the opportunity to work with you and gain real world experience through your partnership with our team and the EcoCAR 2 competition.

These competition sponsors provide us the hardware, software, training, and support for our team needs and enables our team to integrate their technologies into our competition vehicle.

GKN Driveline’s mission is focused on providing the best engineered solutions for their customers. The EcoEagles are implementing GKN’s eTransmission into their vehicle.

The competition requires certain components and systems that, without sponsor support, would otherwise be unavailable or too expensive for our team to use. The EcoEagles have the opportunity to meet and work with these competition sponsors, which is an invaluable experience. Sponsors are able to observe how their technologies perform during rigorous and innovative use by the EcoEagles as well as recruit hundreds of talented engineering students. Sponsors also gain international media coverage and develop partnerships with government, industry, and academia.
