Testimonials
“Food. Shelter. Transportation. …the BUV can be the
“car for humanity”, meeting human needs and
glorifying our Lord.”
Millard Fuller,
President, Habitat for Humanity
“…the BUV has helped tremendously in hauling cement,
sand, lumber and tools for our construction
projects.”
Cris Garcia,

with proven, robust designs to help ensure
durability in remote environments“
Jerry Hornback,

“Engineering students desiring a humanitarian outlet
for their gifts will find BUV design projects to be
ideally suited to both their education and their
passion. They will find IAT to be that rare customer
that depends on student design work.”
Matthew Green,
Capstone Design, University of Texas
The BUV provides an excellent means for our
engineering students to be involved in a real world
engineering project. The students get significant
motivation from the clear humanitarian component.
They get a better sense of the global possibilities
in engineering and a broader understanding of how
their engineering skills can be utilized to benefit
mankind.
Tom Hellmuth, Dean
of Engineering, LeTourneau University
We like the BUV competition because it provides a
vehicle for hands-on learning, and it provides
recognition for the university. Also, low-cost
transportation for the developing world is not just
another race around a track.
Mark Patterson,
Assistant Professor, University of Dayton
“The BUV has tremendous potential to improve
transportation and serve as a tool for evangelism in
remote areas of developing countries.”
Dr. Y.G. Kim,
Professor of Appropriate Technology, John Brown University
