Background on the Shell Eco-Marathon
Shell holds its first Eco-marathon (SEM) in Asia after a number of successful years in The Americas and Europe . The event will continue in the other two regions while the inaugural Asian event will be held in Malaysia .
The SEM actually began in 1939 at a Shell research laboratory in the USA as a challenge between scientists to see who could achieve the lowest fuel consumption. IN 1985, it became a major event organized by Shell as an educational project that challenges student teams to design and build the most energy-efficient vehicle and compete against others. The competition challenges student teams to design and build energy efficient vehicles that travel the farthest distance using the least amount of fuel
Open to high schools, colleges, universities and technical institutes around the world, the programme challenges student teams to put their innovations to the test in two vehicle categories: “Prototype,” futuristic, streamlined vehicles focused on maximizing fuel efficiency through innovative design elements, and “Urban Concept,” focused on more “roadworthy” fuel-efficient vehicles.
This year Shell Eco-marathon (SEM) will be held on 7th to 11th of July at Sepang International circuit and about 110 teams all around Asia has registered for this event. A strong crowd of 1500 people per day consisting of students, teachers, technical experts from various industries, government officials and public will be attending this event.
