We are thrilled to have sixteen cars competing this year.
The competition is the result of the hard work of many people at Dartmouth and
beyond. We are grateful to all our sponsors, judges, event volunteers, and supporters.
Most of all, we are indebted to the enthusiasm of all the students who have taken up
the Formula Hybrid challenge. We are delighted that they are directing their ingenuity
and creativity to advancing hybrid technologies, as we believe that ideas developed
for competitions today may lead to everyday applications tomorrow. This event, the
second annual Formula Hybrid competition, is another step in the growing movement
to engineer new automotive solutions.
We are already planning the 2009 Formula Hybrid Competition. We look forward to
seeing you there.

For over a decade, Dartmouth engineering students have
participated in the annual Formula SAE competition. In 2003 a
team of engineering students decided to test their knowledge of
electric motors and the role they could play in formula racecars. The
team reasoned that because electric motors deliver higher torque
at low speeds than do internal combustion engines, a hybrid could
offer advantages in a few of the Formula SAE events.
The Dartmouth team converted a former Formula SAE car with a
traditional combustion engine into a hybrid vehicle, overcoming
numerous technical challenges along the way. One of the most
difficult aspects was making all the pieces fit. Despite the smaller
size of the hybrid gasoline engine, there are more components to
a hybrid drivetrain, including the electric motor, motor controller,
energy storage system (accumulator), various high-power voltage
converters, and computerized control systems. But the greatest
obstacle of all was that hybrid cars could not meet newly revised
Formula SAE regulations. So the Dartmouth team decided to create
a whole new competition: Formula Hybrid.
Under the leadership of Doug Fraser, director of the Formula
Hybrid Project at Dartmouth, Formula Hybrid took shape with
SAE and IEEE endorsements. In 2006 Formula Hybrid enthusiasts
convened at Dartmouth to develop competition rules and regulations.
The wheels were set in motion for the annual Formula Hybrid
International Competition.
formula 08hybridWhat is Formula Hybrid? The Road to Formula HybridThe Formula Hybrid™ International Competition challenges
undergraduate and graduate students to design and build hybrid
racecars and compete in a multi-event program. The open-wheel,
single-seat cars must conform to a set of rules—formulas—that
emphasize, encourage, and promote drivetrain innovation and
fuel efficiency.
Organized by Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College,
Formula Hybrid carries the endorsement of the Society of
Automotive Engineers, Inc. (SAE) and the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE).
The Formula Hybrid competition builds on the highly successful
Formula SAE program by adding a new layer of complexity. Like
Formula SAE events, the Hybrid competition includes autocross,
endurance events, an acceleration test, and judging of car design
and marketing presentations. But in addition, Formula Hybrid
demands completion of all events on a fixed amount of fuel—
a challenge that proves difficult to master. The competition gives
teams the opportunity to demonstrate and test their solutions and
glean new ideas for the future.

WHY NOT?Two words that can inspire every one of us to make a difference. Congratulations to the
participants of the 2008 Formula Hybrid Competition from all of us at Toyota.

Create.Collaborate.
Innovate. Most engineering schools advocate
interdisciplinary thinking yet still require you
to commit to a specific discipline right away.
Climb into the box first, they say,
then think outside it.
Engineering at Dartmouth is different.
Our single, multidisciplinary department maximizes
flexibility. Because we believe that nothing should
stand in the way of creativity, collaboration,
and innovation.

I wasn’t born on some distant planet and I
don’t wear a cape. But my work developing new
technology, like hybrid vehicles, will play a big
role in helping preserve the environment for
generations to come. That’s important to me…
and that’s why I chose to work at GM. For more

initiatives, visit us online at gm.com. If you
