'PLUS 10'
The Best is Yet to Come!

The world is poised for a decade of unprecedented change in transportation design. Evolutions in technology, legislation, consumer taste and mobility needs will transform the automotive landscape worldwide. This is your chance to predict, or even influence, the vehicles that will be driven ten years from now in the year 2021.

Your challenge is to design a vehicle that people in your area (country /region) will enjoy using in the year 2021. This vehicle should answer the preferences, lifestyle and transportation needs for the population in your part of the world.

Benefits of entry in Michelin Challenge Design include a formal review by a jury of prominent transportation designers who share a passion for vehicle design and innovation. Each year the selected Michelin Challenge Design entries are displayed for a two-week exhibition and featured in a press conference at the North America International Auto Show in Detroit - offering an outstanding addition to any designer's portfolio.
