Anyone else notice Persu made the X-Prize cut?

Seems Persu made the cut to become one of the 43 Qualified Teams who received passing scores from the Design Judges and are therefore qualified to progress to the next stage of the competition. Qualified Teams have passed two hurdles – the Registration process and Design Judging. The next phase of the competition is the technical qualifiers, which begin in Spring 2010.

Doesn't look like Persu has modified their page on the site though. http://www.progressiveautoxprize.org/teams/persu-mobility And they haven't added it to the news page on http://persumobility.com/ either. Certainly seems to qualify as news.

Wonder if they will be ready for the next stage.

I hope they have some hardware by now. Their are a lot of EV conversion companies that could build something for them cheaply. The real key with a hybrid is the systems work and the engine tuning.

Yea, I noticed and added it to the end of the existing x-prize thread: http://flytheroadclub.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=353&page=14

But it's still good news. :)
