One of the vital points for success in this competition is testing, big shout out to @tmpcayuga for allowing us to come out this year and take Lucy for a rip. Here are some of our favourite memories from our trip 🏎️

It was allot of hard work, but did it ever pay off.

As we sign off on four years of the EcoCAR EV Challenge, it is a bittersweet moment. We finished in the highest rank that Faculty of Engineering - McMaster University has ever placed in 2nd OVERALL and we could not be happier. But, with this great accomplishment comes the end of many of our student’s journeys, and to them we thank you tremendously for all your hard work.

2nd overall is not only a trophy, but it is a testament to the dedication to innovation, teamwork, and determination that our team has showcased thoroughly over the last four years of the EcoCAR EV Challenge. In addition to this we took home an additional SIX awards. It is safe to say that we really need a bigger trophy cabinet at this point.

However, none of this success would be capable without the amazing leadership shown by our faculty advisors, the amazing team of organizers at Argonne National Laboratory, or the phenomenal sponsorship that allows these competitions to take place from the likes of General Motors, MathWorks, and so many more.

While it is sad to close this chapter, we couldn’t be happier with how we did and, with all that being said, we could not be more excited for the next chapter of our team’s journey in the EcoCAR Innovation Challenge.

See you all in September!

Sending off our Cadillac LYRIQ to the final competition of the EcoCAR EV Challenge is a moment filled with both excitement and a bit of nostalgia.

Over the past four years, this vehicle has been more than just a platform—it’s been the foundation for countless hours of innovation, problem-solving, and collaboration across our team. From early design decisions to the integration of advanced features, every milestone has shaped not only the vehicle, but the people behind it.

As it heads to its final competition, we’re incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished and grateful for the support from our sponsors, mentors, and partners who made it all possible.

Now, we look ahead to the culmination of years of hard work—excited to showcase what we’ve built, and ready to see it all come together on the final stage. See you in Michigan at General Motors Milford Proving Grounds!

Pit Stop Update time!

It’s been a big home stretch for the team! From a successful Sponsor Showcase highlighting the incredible partners behind our journey, to our CarFit event making a real impact in the community—our Communications and Mobility Challenge teams have been hitting major milestones.

On the technical side, we’re continuing to push forward with advancements like Automatic Intersection Navigation and One Pedal Driving as we refine the future of smart, connected mobility.

Stay tuned, there’s a lot more to come with our next stop being final competition in Michigan this upcoming month!

School is pretty much done, but don’t forget about your last class of the semester!

EcoCAR 101 is back in session and today’s topic is half-shaft design. We are ending the semester off on a great topic, some would even call it moving... at least the LYRIQ does, because it can’t move without them...

If you were worried though, don’t be. We will be back at the start of the spring/summer semester with even more for you to learn about!
