Michigan Tech received a brand new Chevy Volt for its research program
HANCOCK -- It's a new turn for the Advanced Power Systems Research Center at Michigan Tech. Saturday morning, the school received a brand new electric Chevy Volt donated by General Motors.
The car acts much like a normal vehicle but can run on its battery for about 40 miles before switching to fuel.
Students will be able to take it apart and study the technology behind battery-powered vehicles.
The car will remain at the school's research center in Hancock.
