The team has upgraded to a Polaris 2020 Titan 155 chassis and a CAT diesel engine. Due to COVID-19 the 2021 Clean Snowmobile Challenge was held virtually. The blue snowmobile was affectionately named "Cosmo."

The team made finishing details and designs to the sled in hopes of improving the snowmobile for a 1st place finish. Unfortunately, due to a pin hole leak in the coolant line, the sled overheated at competition. The team placed 5th in the Diesel Category. The name of the snowmobile is "Wanda."

The team continued to design, engineer, and upgrade the competition snowmobile. The team placed 2nd in the Diesel Category.

The team rebranded from the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Team to the SDSM&T Clean Snowmobile Team. The team entered into the Compression Ignition Diesel Category at the Clean Snowmobile Challenge for the first time with a Kubota D902 engine in a 2018 Polaris Titan Chassis. The team placed 7th in the Diesel Category.

Switched to a 2014 Polaris Switchback Assault with a Parker Custom GVM 1425 electric motor.

The team focused on improving the previous year's snowmobile in many ways. Major improvements were made to the electromechanical CVT, upgraded safety features, and an improved battery box design.

The team continued to innovate with an integrated drive train system, improved rear suspension, EM-CVT improvements, and more. The HPGC-AC20 moto delivered 100lbf-ft of torque while only requiring 15kW while operating at 6500 RPM.

In the 2010-2011 competition year, the team decided to integrate a power system and a controller system. That combination gave the team a greater opportunity to win the competition and had a higher impact on the electric snowmobile concept production. The team placed 6th in the Zero Emissions Category.

The team continued to develop and test snowmobile concepts while minimize emissions while maximizing snowmobile functionality and performance. The team used a 2008 Polaris 2-Up Touring snowmobile and placed 4th in the Zero Emissions Category at the 2010 Clean Snowmobile Challenge.

The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Team continued in the Zero Emissions Category. The team designed, analyzed, and manufactured an electric snowmobile to compete at the 2008 Clean Snowmobile Challenge.

The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Team organized to build an all-electric snowmobile in October of 2006. They competed for the first time at the Clean Snowmobile Challenge in March of 2007 against 12 other schools. The team placed 2nd in the Zero Emissions Category and greatly exceeded expectations. The snowmobile was built on a 1995 Indy XLT chassis.
