C edarville College has been chosen to compete in the 1994 HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) Challenge. Saturn Corporation donated cars to twelve U.S . and Canadian schools whose selection for the competition was based on proposed design, strength of the engineering department, and support from the local community. Cedarville was the only Ohio school chosen. The cars will be judged in Detroit in June 1994 and again in 1995 and 1996 as improvements continue to be made. Cedarville engineering students will convert the Saturn sedan to an HEV by replacing the standard automobile combustion engine with a smaller engine which will run a generator to power an electric drivetrain. Saturn Corporation is sponsoring the competition along with the Department of Energy, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and Energy, Mines, and Resources-Canada.
