The NFPA Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge is a workforce development program designed to support teams of undergraduate students (through a senior capstone design project or extracurricularly) as they develop a fluid powered vehicle (bicycle) without the use of chains or belts.

Teams must create their own bicycle including fluid power in its design.

Teams are typically required to include:

  • An accumulator for storing energy
  • Some form of an electronic control system for the vehicle
  • Regeneration technology

The members of the judging committee will review the quality of the final paper and presentation, the design and cost analysis, quality of the vehicle design and concept, and the ability of the team to work together.
