FILIPINO engineering students are pitting their skills against those of their regional peers in the Shell Eco-marathon Asia in Lombok, Indonesia.
According to Tugay, they took inspiration from a shark in creating their 1,000-watt EV, with a target running speed of about 50- to 70-kilometers per hour. “The main competitive edge of our car is that it’s ultralightweight,” Eco Car Team Manager Eunice Nicole M. Rupisan said. “It’s very comparable to other cars—because even with our older models, you can see the difference in the weight when we lift it, [which is actually easy].”
Making cars more efficient since 1939, SEM shifted to its current eco-friendly focus in 1985. The annual event provides students of science, technology, engineering, and math—or STEM—an avenue to conceptualize, design, build, and run an energy-efficient, battery-powered vehicle that can outlast others on a track.
