Who We Are
We are a team of driven students from University College London, who share a common interest in green technology and determination to build the ultra fuel-efficient car. Our fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) has an energy efficiency equivalent to 6,600 miles per gallon of petrol - it could theoretically travel from London to Athens on only 1 litre of petrol!
Competition
In the summer of 2025, we will compete at the Shell Eco-Marathon Europe & Africa competition in Poland. The Shell Eco-marathon is designed to drive and inspire our generation as the energy leaders of tomorrow. This competition reflects the “perseverance, collaboration and innovation” required to promote sustainable strategies to complex engineering challenges.
Our Ultimate Goal
The team's vision extends beyond setting records; we are committed to leading a paradigm shift in sustainable transportation. We aim to break the world fuel efficiency record with the development of our hydrogen car, showcasing hydrogen propulsion as a viable, sustainable technology. As a team with a strong legacy, we proudly look back on the milestones we have reached at previous competitions. Setting a new efficiency record among UK teams and winning the Data and Telemetry Award in 2023 and the Carbon Footprint Reduction Award in 2024, evidences the abundance of experiences, learning curves and achievements we have reached as a team.
Next Steps
In our pursuit of maximum efficiency, we meticulously select every component, from wire strippers to high-quality cables and euro-boxes. Thanks to funding from the RS prize, we ensure that every part of our electrical system and powertrain is optimised for top-notch performance and reliability.
Our vehicle's chassis is currently being designed for a world record attempt. With sustainability in mind, the flex fibre aeroshell is not only eco-friendly but also showcases our creative use of materials. The design process, facilitated by Fusion 360, ensures enhanced ergonomics and visibility, projecting our car into the stratosphere of efficiency exceeding 6,196 km/L.
We extend an invitation to the DesignSpark community to join us on this exciting journey. Your support, interest, and enthusiasm are invaluable as we strive to set new standards for vehicle efficiency. Follow our progress, cheer us on, and become part of the movement driving sustainable technology forward.
