Fifteen teams of university students, including one at Purdue, are on a quest. They're taking part in a three year effort to take an existing car and reduce its environmental impact. Performance and safety can't be compromised, and it still has to be marketable to those looking to buy such a car. Haley Moore is the leader of the EcoMakers team. She explained to reporters during a recent open house the plans her Purdue crew has for the 2013 Chevy Malibu. They work out of lab space in the Grounds Service Building on campus. In her role, shes learning how to manage the task at hand and people.
