There’s been a long-running debate in America over the value of a college degree, though we think most would agree that you ultimately get out of college what you put in. In the case of Greenspeed Research, what began as a student club at Boise State University has translated into a non-profit organization hellbent on building badass, environmentally-friendly racing vehicles.

Greenspeed got its start building a biodiesel land speed truck, and the non-profit racing team has set its sights on the Baja 1000 with the release of renderings for its trophy truck.

Named the Convergeance TT, the trophy truck wil also run an unspecified blend of biodiesel, allowing it to easily double or even triple the fuel economy of its gas-powered competitors without sacrificing power or performance. Greenspeed is expecting fuel economy as high as 7.5 mpg thanks to its turbodiesel’s innate efficiency. Compared to the 2.5 average mpg most gas-powered trophy trucks can expect, the Convergence TT can either carry less fuel, or travel farther between pit stops. Either way, it could prove to be a major advantage.

Greenspeed Research was formed by a group of STEM majors who set a land speed record with their biodiesel-powered Chevy S-10 back in 2012. The newly-formed non-profit states that it is “…focused on breaking the barriers to STEM and disproving the myths and misconceptions of renewable energy sources.” At the wheel will be veteran off-road driver, Paul Robinson, and Greenspeed also claims it has some advanced suspension technologies to debut as well.

But there’s a long road between here and the Baja 1000 starting line. Could a biodiesel revolution in racing be brewing?
