ABOUT US

UWAFT is a student design team based out of University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University. We compete in the EcoCAR Mobility Challenge, a four-year competition between 12 North American universities. We are transforming a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer RS into an advanced carsharing vehicle. We will be designing and installing a hybrid powertrain for better fuel economy, onboard sensors for self-driving capabilities, wireless communication for innovative connected user features and so much more!

HISTORY & VISION

UWAFT was established in 1996 as one of only a few design teams in the University of Waterloo. Originally located in a small garage in the university’s physics building, a group of engineering students wanted to make a difference in vehicle design and encourage sustainable practices. At UWAFT we continuously break new boundaries in the field of of transportation through innovation, technology, and active student engagement.
