Make the Future Singapore, Shell’s festival of ideas and innovation for Asia, - The four-day showcase of bright ideas and innovation saw thousands of visitors including students, entrepreneurs, businesses, government and the public coming together to experience, test and contribute bright energy ideas.
Representing Malaysia were seven teams from six universities, six of these teams successfully completed the gruelling technical inspection and made it out onto the SEMA track to put their individual car designs to the efficiency test. All cars must first pass all 12 stations at the technical inspection before they are allowed onto the track.
The Best of the Prototypes
Shell Eco-marathon Asia 2018 also crowned the winners in the Prototype category. The best mileage record for the Internal Combustion Engine category was 2,341.1 km/l by Panjavidhya1 from Panjavidhya Technological College (Thailand), beating last year’s record of 2,288.9 km/l. Other winners in the Prototype competition included Team HuaQi-EV from Guangzhou College of South China University of Technology (China), with a result of 511.0 km/kWh in the Battery Electric category, and Team TP ECO FLASH from Temasek Polytechnic (Singapore) with a result of 404.3 km/m3 in the Hydrogen category.
This year team Eco Voyager from University Malaysia place third in the Prototype – Hydrogen category and succeeded in breaking their previous mileage record by achieving 267 KM/M3.
Drivers’ World Championship Asia
Team SEMAR URBAN UGM INDONESIA from Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta, Indonesia claimed victory in the second edition of Drivers’ World Championship Asia, in a race to cross the finish line first on the least amount of fuel. The top three teams from the Asia regional final will face off against the best UrbanConcept teams from the Americas and Europe in the Grand Final to be held at Make the Future Live in London, UK, on July 8, 2018. The overall winner will earn once-in-a-lifetime experience at the home of Scuderia Ferrari.
Off-Track Awards
Shell Eco-marathon is about more than winning on the track. Students are recognised for their communications, technical innovation, design, safety and perseverance.
GARUDA UNY ECO TEAM from Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Indonesia, was awarded the Safety Award for the design of their UrbanConcept car. The team went beyond conventional safety simulations and instead used physical experiments to test their design and modified the vehicle design and materials based on their test results.
EnduroKiwis from University of Canterbury, New Zealand, was awarded the Technical Innovation Award for the self-designed 3D-printed titanium engine in their UrbanConcept car, which makes for a stronger engine with finer, more intricate details. The team was proud to mesh the use of 3D-printing with the traditional machine and was lauded for taking a holistic approach to designing and printing the complete engine in a way that is not only optimised for efficient production of the printed parts, but also for optimised engine fuel efficiency.
NUST Eco-motive from National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan, won the Perseverance and Spirit of the Event Award. When it became clear on Friday night that the team would not pass technical inspection, the team gave away their engine to a team who desperately needed one. They also gave away their tyres, battery and other vehicle parts to help about 20 other competing teams and demonstrated the true spirit of the competition.
