The team, which is called: "The Giant Leap Mission Team," after Neil Armstrong's iconic words; includes National Laboratories, State Business Offices, and leading edge automotive suppliers across a variety of industries. The program is designed to inspire public and industry participation and create a "fast-track" to alternative energy vehicles.
