Deep Orange 15
Newest Student-Built Vehicle
Clemson University unveiled its latest groundbreaking autonomous rescue vehicle, Deep Orange 15, at the Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering & Technology Symposium (GVSETS) in Novi, Michigan.
Deep Orange 15, an advanced, high-speed, off-road, semi-autonomous search-and-rescue vehicle, is equipped with semi-active suspension, an innovative litter-loading mechanism, a high-voltage battery, a rotating passenger seat to assist victims and a series hybrid powertrain.
The vehicle is the 15th created as part of Deep Orange, Clemson’s flagship student vehicle prototype education program, where master’s students in the University’s Department of Automotive Engineering work with industry professionals to strategize on the customers’ needs, develop unique concepts and engineer and build each vehicle from scratch.
The Deep Orange program at Clemson is set up to create advanced vehicles and prepare students for future success.
