Low emission vehicles all converged on Imperial College London– the official end point - as part of one the UK’s premiere car challenges, which happened this month.
Researchers at Imperial donated their expertise and time for the Royal Automobile Club’s Annual Future Car Challenge (FCC). The aim of Challenge is see which low emission vehicle can use the least amount of energy on a 63 mile route from Madeira Drive, Brighton, to Imperial, and onwards to London’s Regent Street.
The Royal Automobile Club, the proprietors of the world's longest running motoring event - the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run - established the FCC to actively promote new low-energy technology and echo the pioneering start of motoring in 1896.
This year, the Imperial team carried out a technical analysis on each vehicle to determine the winner. The analysis took place at Imperial’s Prince’s Gardens.
