Moving van presumably used to transport UM's solar car to its various test sites and competitions.
The University of Michigan solar car student team can justifiably lay claim to being the #1 such team in the country, both in terms of longevity and results. Visit their website, http://www.umsolar.com/, to learn more and see cool pictures of the actual vehicle seen here only in 'blueprint' form.
As a teaser, here is a quote from that site: "Powered solely by the sun, this single-seat race vehicle uses the same amount of energy that it takes to power a hair-dryer. On a closed test course, Infinium reached speeds of over 105 mph. Building the solar car is a two year project that takes over 100 student team members and more than 1 million dollars. Vehicles from previous project cycles are on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland, and the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan."
