Team HERCUCLAS, named after UCLA's Hydrogen Engineering Research Consortium (HERC) and the Greek hero Hercules, has joined this exciting international competition in the hope of furthering UCLA's long history with Hydrogen technology, dating back to the 1970s. This multidisciplinary project has drawn over 30 undergraduate students with backgrounds in virtually every branch of engineering, mathematics, economics, and marketing, as well as several graduate students. Our goal is to combine our passion for racing and passion for the environment and show that the Hydrogen fuel-cell is clean, safe, and fast!
