Auto X Prize Kicks Off With 111 Contestants

April 12th, 2009 by Damon Clifford

I’ve been following many of the companies involved in the Auto X Prize over the past year.

The teams, which collectively represent 136 vehicle entries with 14 different fuel sources, include diverse groups from 25 U.S. states and 11 countries. Established automakers, emerging start-ups, universities and inventors are among those represented. Six of the Registered Teams remain confidential.


The contestants will continue to work on their vehicles through the rest of 2009 and the winner will be announced sometime in 2010. As it gets closer to the announcement date, I will review the top contestants and give their strong points and things that they need to work on to create a vehicle that will be commercially viable.

Good luck to all!
