Special Encore Presentation: Home of the World's Fastest Electric Vehicle - Ohio State University's Center for Automotive Research

During Earth Week 2011, I visited the OSU campus, and toured the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) where the world's fastest electric vehicle (top speed 320 mph) is housed. The only thing more impressive than getting to see the "Buckeye Bullet" in person was meeting the Director of CAR, Dr. Giorgio Rizzoni. While the Buckeye Bullet is fueled by lithium ion batteries, the world class research facility run by Dr. Rizzoni is fueled by his unparalleled brilliance and enthusiasm for advanced electric propulsion and energy storage systems for reduced fuel consumption and emissions. Dr. Rizzoni and his team are focused on advanced engines and alternative fuels that will shape transportation in the 21st century. Whether you're into cars or into green, this interview will leave you thrilled that Dr. Rizzoni is in the driver's seat of one of the world's premiere transportation transformation incubators!
