It's Possible in Shell's Unique Student Competition
Shell Eco-Marathon Americas inspires
top young engineers from 24 schools in the U.S. and Canada in a
challenge to take place April 13-14 at the California Speedway in
Fontana, California. The goal of the event is to build a vehicle which
will achieve the farthest distance using the least amount of fuel.
After
more than 20 successful years in Europe and the United Kingdom, the
world-renowned Shell Eco-marathon is coming to the United States. The
Shell Eco-marathon Americas will showcase a lineup of futuristic,
eco-friendly vehicles competing to travel the farthest distance on the
least amount of fuel. The student project, which invites student teams
from across the Americas to design and build the most energy-efficient
vehicle, concludes this weekend, April 13 -14, 2007, with a two-day
mileage challenge at the California Speedway in Fontana, California.
Last year, a student team from Europe achieved the equivalent of 6,792
miles to the gallon.
