Makeover (Electric) with Prof Long, Josh Dutton, Jeff Conradt, and John Hayes

ASHLAND — A gas-powered 2006 Ford Ranger that might have otherwise been destined for a wholesale auction will find new life as an electric vehicle. Ashland electric-vehicle company Ambiente Motors will install the electric power train in January, splitting the cost with SOU, and a team of researchers from Oregon Institute of Technology will compile data on the truck's operations.

Once the electric engine is ready to go, our very own professor Jim Long, along with software engineering students Josh Dutton, Jeff Conradt and John Hayes, will install software to track the Ranger in real time!

You can learn more about this exciting project in this article or by talking with either Jim, Josh, Jeff, or John.

There is also talk that if the project goes well they may be converting Todd's Spyder in the spring!
