Deep Orange 9 Day celebrates industry partners at CU-ICAR
December 5, 2017
Deep Orange 9 industry partners gathered at CU-ICAR on November 17 to learn about the progress of the DO9 concept vehicle project, meet the graduate student and faculty project leadership, and discuss next steps for the vehicle’s design and production.
Industry partners represented at Deep Orange 9 Day included: Aisin Technical Center of America, BF Goodrich, Honda R&D Americas, Inc., JTEKT, and Red Bull.
The Deep Orange 9 project will develop and demonstrate a “next-generation rallycross” motorsports vehicle, with the goal of creating a safe, clean, and fuel efficient vehicle that provides highly dynamic handling and acceleration. The Deep Orange program is Clemson’s unique framework that immerses graduate students into the world of a future OEM and/or supplier, allows automotive engineering students, multi-disciplinary faculty, and participating industry partners to produce a new vehicle prototype each year.
Thank you, Deep Orange 9 partners, for your commitment to our students’ success!
