Electric Power Consultant
AC Propulsion founder and president, Alan Cocconi, received his engineering degree from the California Institute of Technology.
As an engineering consultant, he
developed the drive and 
solar tracking systems for the GM Sun Raycer which won the
1987 World Solar Challenge, a cross-country race for solar powered
vehicles held in Australia. Mr. Cocconi then designed and built the
controller for the original GM Impact that was introduced at the 1990 LA
Auto Show and which has since evolved into GM's EV-1.
In addition to being DWRA's electric power consultant, Mr. Cocconi also designed White Lightning's two AC150 drive trains, modified to operate at higher voltage.
