The Concordia chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) built a vehicle capable of handling road and water for a series of competitions across North America.

The off-road vehicle was built by a team of graduating students, many of whom had never participated in such competitions.

Their vehicle broke the top 10 out of more than 80 competitors for both water maneuverability and acceleration at the SAE’s Collegiate Design Series in Birmingham, Alabama recently.

Relying on sponsorship from a number of local businesses, the team will compete in further events in May and June.

Update
Anyone wishing to join the crew and participate in future events is encouraged to contact Jody Arsenault.
