Michelin Challenge Vehicles Displayed at Detroit Show

Concept vehicles designed as part of Michelin’s 2007 ‘Michelin Challenge Design’ initiative are being put on display at this year’s North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit between January 7 and 21.

The theme for the 2007 challenge was to come up with new and innovative ways to improve vehicle safety and make the road a safer place. More than 250 people in 51 countries rose to the challenge of designing a safer vehicle.

A panel of leading vehicle designers, educators and safety experts met to consider the merits of each entry. The best submissions have been worked up into two- and three-dimensional concepts for display at NAIAS.
