What does the competition consist of?
The Shell Eco-Marathon consists of students around the world who attempt to design and build a vehicle capable of utilizing the least amount of energy possible under certain parameters. Students can choose to build a vehicle under two divisions; "Prototype" or "Urban Concept". The Prototype competition is for students attempting to build a car only focused on efficiency whereas the Urban Concept is for students attempting to build a car that is both highly efficient and mimics a road car in terms of features. These features range from luggage space to screen wipers and side mirrors.
After picking which division to participate in, teams then have to decide which energy source they use to compete with. Then they will be paired to compete with other teams under the same division utilizing the same energy source as well. The energy sources include; Gasoline, Diesel, Ethanol, Battery-Electric, and Hydrogen Fuel Cells.
