2009 21st CAC & Tour de Thor
Penn state, April 17-19, 2009
For the 2009 competition, Dr. Joel Anstrom, director of the Hybrid and Hydrogen Vehicle Research Lab at Penn State, assumed his role as the new coordinator of the annual 21st Century Automotive Challenge, adding the Tour de Thor to the annual electric and hybrid car competition. Dr. Anstrom's transportation program is located in the Thomas D. Larson Transportation Research Building which is walking distance from famous Beaver Stadium, home of Joe Paterno and the Penn State football team.
Dr. Anstrom participated as a student in an earlier Tour de Sol as a member of the Penn State hybrid car team. He had not lost his enthusiasm for the spirit of the Tour de Sol and wanted to enable more student teams to have the same opportunities that he did.
The 21st Century Competition had full use of the Penn State facilities which include a large testing center. At a test track near the Penn State main campus is one of the largest dynamometers in America, capable of testing large hybrid busses.
