At the St. Ignace Welcome Center Saturday, January 12, Michigan Technological University students present a unique hybrid vehicle they produced for Challenge X, an international contest involving 17 select universities from the United States and Canada. Every university involved has taken a different approach to reduce emissions and increase gas mileage on a stock vehicle. To test Michigan Tech's twoengine hybrid, which has taken four years to create, the students are on a drive around the perimeter of Lake Michigan, where they have been stopping to give lectures at high schools and to visit the homes of Tech students. Pictured (front, from left) are team leader Todd Cimermancic, Mindy Saxton; (back) Andrew Best, and Bill Bland. 016p1_xlg.jpg
