In some inaccessible areas, human-powered transport plays an essential role for daily commuting transportation. When you apply engineering principles to human-powered vehicles, they can be a increasingly efficient and reliable transportation for undeveloped areas. Furthermore, human powered vehicles are a promising green transportation alternative for urban localities.The HPVC is an international event held by ASME and provides students a chance to practice engineering design principles to innovate a reliable and practical alternate form of transportation. Throughout the challenge, students will be developing efficient, sustainable, and highly engineered vehicles to overcome the predicted constraints.

The UT Dallas chapter of ASME is looking forward to compete again for the second time in 2013.
