What a great day to be a Hokie! Thank you for everyone who stopped by our booth at Gobblerfest! Info session coming soon, keep an eye on our stories! 🚗⚡️
We believe in burning rubber, not gas. Want to learn about how we are transforming a Camaro into a hybrid electric vehicle? You came to the right place.
Since 1995, the Hybrid Electric Vehicle Team of Virginia Tech (HEVT) has provided students with the opportunity to research, develop, and build actual hybrid vehicles. With EcoCAR 3, HEVT is continuing its efforts in demonstrating the potential to create sustainable mobility while retaining vehicle performance, utility, and safety. The team evaluated the base gasoline vehicle as a comparison, sele
cted a fuel based both on well-to-wheels impacts and decided which approach best met the criteria of reduced vehicle environmental impact. The end result of the design process was a vehicle design that, when compared to the base vehicle, significantly reduces total energy consumption, minimizes petroleum energy consumption, has less overall criteria air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions and maintains or exceeds stock consumer acceptable performance, utility, and safety. The implementation of the design requires critical timeline and budget constraints to meet deliverables and produce reliable and safe systems in a vehicle with validated models and data. The most important result of EcoCAR is the graduating engineers that have the hands-on, real-world educational experience needed to contribute to the North American automotive industry in the 21st century. The opportunity to collaborate with the sponsors in an international challenge to develop and demonstrate sustainable automotive technology is a privilege and an honor. HEVT has enthusiastically accepted this next challenge and is proud to have the opportunity to compete in EcoCAR 3. The team has the support, knowledge, experience, and determination necessary to produce a truly competitive and innovative hybrid vehicle. Contact team leaders Andres Coello or Alex Neblett with questions.

Happy Member Monday⭐️ This week we are featuring Tony Weng!
Tony is studying Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech and works on the System Design Integration (SDI) sub team. This year he is working on integrating an all wheel drive thermal system into the Cadillac Lyriq. In his free time he enjoys playing basketball and working out!
Thank you so much for all you do for the team, Tony!
That’s a wrap for winter workshop 2024. Thank you to all of the hardworking organizers and sponsors of the competition! A special thank you to and for hosting us. We are looking forward to the competition in Yuma and Phoenix, Arizona!
A group of HEVT leads had the incredible opportunity to fly to Detroit, Michigan a day in advance for a Leadership Workshop at Magna Headquarters, as part of the Year 2 EcoCAR EV Challenge Winter Workshop. During the workshop, team leads delved into Magna’s core value of taking responsibility. As leaders of HEVT, it’s crucial to be accountable not only for our team but also for our actions. Taking responsibility involves recognizing weaknesses and actively striving to enhance ourselves as individuals, teammates, and leaders. Embracing vulnerability, a good leader acknowledges shortcomings, while a great leader seeks feedback from peers and mentors, fostering continuous growth, especially in the dynamic realm of cutting-edge technology management. We are looking forward to sharing our newfound knowledge with the rest of the team upon our return back to Blacksburg, Virginia. Starting off February Strong!
Looking back at an inspiring STEM education outreach event we hosted last week with 6-8th grade girls from Roanoke! Offering them a glimpse into the fascinating world of HEVT and the field of engineering, it was a such rewarding experience getting to share our passion and knowledge with them!
Happy New Year everyone! To celebrate, here is a throw back from the FutureTruck competition from the year 2000! Wishing everyone a safe and happy 2024!
The first semester of year 2 was a great success! Our team is excited to rest and enjoy the holidays. Upon the return of students in the spring, our members are eager to continue work on our ! Stay tuned for updates
HEVT was incredibly lucky to participate in an event hosted by ! Prospective female engineering high school seniors came to Virginia Tech to learn about varying engineering design teams and opportunities campus. Thank you for everyone who helped make this possible!
The Hokie Electric Vehicle Team at Virginia Tech (HEVT) is looking to recruit motivated and interested students for Spring 2024. HEVT has been competing in Advanced Vehicle Technology Competitions (AVTCs) for almost 30 years and provides students with the opportunity to work on advancements in the automotive industry.
Application link in bio. HEVT will accept applications till 20th November 2024.
Organizing the tools in our brand-new Magna Toolbox! Thank you to for the donation, we will be making great progress on our Cadillac LYRIQ with our new equipment!
Our Cadillac LYRIQ cruised around Virginia Tech’s campus in style, stay tuned to meet our team!
Last week members of our team— Aadi, Tommy, and Rohan, presented the research of the CAVs team at the 2023 IEEE International Automated Vehicle Validation Conference (IAVVC) in Austin, TX!
Symbolically cruising our CADILLAC around Virginia!!🧡🍂✨
Today, we joined different organizations for STEAM Day in Roanoke! All types of K-12 schools traveled to varying museums around Roanoke to learn that “Science is bigger than you think!”
We are headed back to Blacksburg after an incredible fall workshop! Thank you so much to our incredible sponsors and organizers. thank you for hosting us, the campus was beautiful! and thank you for all of your efforts creating such a helpful and fun workshop. We will see everyone in the Winter!
