NUS Eco-car Project
NUS Eco-car Project is embarked on by NUS, Department of Mechanical Engineering to provide undergraduate students a chance to express themselves in a practical competition. NUS Eco-car Project has taken part in European Shell Eco-Marathon 2007 (Prototypes), 2008 and 2009 (Urban Concept) and is currently in the process of building a new car for European Shell Eco-Marathon Asia 2010.
Shell Eco-Marathon is an annual fuel mileage competition where teams showcase creative solutions to present problems. It is an exhibition of technological advancements and creative talents. The principle: Challenging thousands of students to design, build and drive the ultimate fuel-efficient vehicle to extend as far as possible the distance that can be covered on a single litre of fuel. The categories are, Prototypes: streamlined vehicles where the primary design consideration is reducing drag and maximising efficiency and UrbanConcept: vehicles built to more conventional, 4 wheel, roadworthy criteria.
