OptaMotive is passionate about bringing about change in the automotive industry. Decades of stagnation in vehicle design and approach to fuel efficiency has made the consumer a prisoner of the fossil fuel economy.
OptaMotive has partnered with Campagna Motors to bring a high efficiency version of its high-performance T-Rex to the Progressive Automotive X-Prize. The stock vehicle is propelled by a 1400cc motorcycle engine, which is to be replaced by an all-electric drive train in the pursuit of improved efficiency.
OptaMotive is bolstered by members who have experience in robotics, autonomous control, vehicle design, race engineering, control systems and battery engineering.
