More and more, institutions and individuals are seeking alternative methods of transportation, and it should be no surprise to anyone that the leading colleges and universities, like Ole Miss, are leading the way.”

Cruise Car announced today that the company will be delivering Solar Electric Hybrid vehicles to the University’s campus prior to the upcoming Presidential Debate, which is scheduled for September 26th.  “It is an exciting opportunity for Cruise Car,” commented Chester, “as the presidential candidates are certain to spend much of their time discussing the high cost of gasoline and the need for our nation to change its energy policies.”
