HPVC India 2014 by IIT, Delhi and DTU

ASME's international Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC India 2014) was conducted jointly by Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and Delhi Technological University (DTU) on January 17-19, 2014. HPVC India 2014 was open for institutes within India only.

ASME's international Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC) provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate the application of sound engineering design principles in the development of sustainable and practical transportation alternatives.

In the HPVC, students work in teams to design and build efficient, highly engineered vehicles for everyday use—from commuting to work, to carrying goods to market.

Human powered vehicle is, as the name suggests, a vehicle driven by human muscle power. With the advent of modern technology, machines have been developed to enhance human power and then enforce it. Since the ancient ages, these vehicles have been popular due to their lower cost and as a means for maintaining physical fitness.

But now more than ever, these vehicles are the need of the hour for an entirely new reason, environmental and ecological preservation. And HPVC aims to do, to bring these vehicles back into focus.
