• MindDrive gives the automobile industry a greener edge with the help of students

  • electric-car
    The world is in dire need of greener and more energy efficient ways of powering up modes of transport and electric vehicles are quickly catching on in recent times. We’ve spotted one such effort to turn the automobile industry greener, taken up by a bunch of students, as part of the MindDrive initiative. The initiative, based in Kansas City, has been focusing on electric car design and students have been working on several electric car concepts.

    One of these is a ’67 Karmann Ghia. The car has had its gas-guzzling insides replaced with an electric drive train. The car will serve as a beta version of the prototype project being put together by these students. Once completed, the prototype will be put into production and will be sold as a kit in urban markets. The MindDrive initiative is also using the Project Karmann Ghia as an awareness-raising tool.
