Orientation Meeting!!
October 10th, 2007If you’re interested in joining Team Fate we are having an orientation meeting:
Thursday, October 11th
3- 5 pm
1070 Bainer Hall
We often advertise for Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers and Managerial Economists, however you don’t have to be from any specific major to join and help out!
Working on this project gives good insight into possible career fields, helps develop and strengthen engineering skills, and our outreach group gets to work on real marketing strategies.
So come by, learn what PHEV’s are all about from the guy that started it all, and see what projects we are working on!

Outside News - Ford w/ SCE on PHEV demos
July 13th, 2007The 2008 Escape Hybrid will serve as the base for the PHEV conversions.
Ford Motor Company CEO Alan Mulally and Edison International CEO John Bryson announced today that Ford is partnering with Edison subsidiary Southern
California Edison in a multi-year, multimillion dollar project to, in Mulally’s words, “investigate and figure out how to commercialize plug-in hybrids.”
Ford will supply twenty stock Escape hybrid SUVs to Southern California Edison, to be placed with “average consumers.” After real-world baseline data is collected from the vehicles, Ford will convert the Escapes to plug-in hybrids with lithium-ion battery packs from an unnamed battery supplier, then return them to consumers for comparison testing.
