2012: Showcase of Selected Entrants
The 2012 Michelin Challenge Design focused on the issues of urban transportation needs, which need to meet global concerns for safety and efficiency while still offering the essential ingredients of automotive design: beauty, elegance and innovation. Designers were asked to address the needs of one of six cities, selected for the variety of cultures and infrastructure challenges each faces: Paris, Cairo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro or Los Angeles.
The 2102 jury selected 27 works to display; nearly 1800 designers registered for the competition. All were displayed at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, in a large display that also included three full-scale concept vehicles (Renault Zoe, Honda P-NUT, and Tata eMO). Michelin was honored that several finalists also made the trip to Detroit to participate in this celebration of design and the automotive industry, including attending the annual Michelin Challenge Design reception
