The following Sponsors have
assisted the Team Green project over the years and we are very grateful

would not have been achieved. If you think that you have any technology
available that would improve the vehicle performance we would be very
interested to hear from you.
The University of Bath has been home to the Team Green project since
its conception and the technical and logistical support has
been very helpful.
