VIDEO from Medialink and General Motors: Designing the Car of the Future
NEW YORK, Aug. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- From as close asDetroit to as far away
asChina, twenty one students around the world were chosen to design and
engineer a hydrogen-powered car for the year 2020 as a part of the Annual
Design Internship Program, by General Motors.

Each team of interns had a designer, an engineer, a sculptor, and a trim
and color artist. Together, they came up with six futuristic concept cars. In
addition to being gas-free, the concept cars also had to meet the needs of
international drivers in the emerging markets ofChina,India andRussia.
While these concept cars probably won't be available in showrooms anytime
soon, the students have gained real world experience to help further their
future careers, hopefully designing petroleum-free transportation for all of
us.
