Year after year, we use the valuable experience gained from the competition to improve the performance in successive years.<\/p>\n<p>The competition is split into two classes or categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Prototype<\/b>\u00a0class: focuses on maximum efficiency, while passenger comfort takes a back seat.<\/li>\n<li><b>Urban Concept<\/b>\u00a0class: encourages more practical designs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The primary design consideration in the <strong>Prototype<\/strong> class is\u00a0reducing drag and maximizing efficiency of streamlined vehicles. On the other hand, vehicles built in the <strong>Urban Concept<\/strong> concept are more conventional, have 4 wheels, are roadworthy, at the same time attempting to achieve the best possible fuel efficiency and emission.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Shell Eco-marathon competition, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shell.com\/ecomarathon\">http:\/\/www.shell.com\/ecomarathon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/idp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2019\/02\/2.jpg\" alt=\"2\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Achievements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shell Eco-marathon Europe 2008 @ France<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Urban Concept Category &#8211; 18th Place (91 km\/l)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Shell Eco-marathon Europe 2009 @ Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Urban Concept Category &#8211; 5th Place (484 km\/l)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Shell Eco-marathon Europe 2010 @ Sepang<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Urban Concept Fuel Cell Category &#8211; 1st Place (612 km\/l)<\/li>\n<li>Autodesk Innovative Car Design Award &#8211; 1st Place<\/li>\n<li>Off-track Technical Innovation Award &#8211; 1st Place<\/li>\n<li>Off-track Safety Award &#8211; 1st Place<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Shell Eco-marathon Europe 2011 @ Sepang<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Urban Concept Fuel Cell Category &#8211; 1st Place (59 km\/kWh)<\/li>\n<li>SKF Design Award &#8211; 1st Place<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>NUS ECO Car 2018 Team Members<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>NUS ECO Car Team<\/th>\n<th>Area of Responsibility<\/th>\n<th>Year<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Danny Christian<\/td>\n<td>Team Leader\/Suspension<\/td>\n<td>ME4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hon Yuan Ting, Melvin<\/td>\n<td>Deputy Team Leader\/Electronics<\/td>\n<td>EE4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ho Hao Ming<\/td>\n<td>Drivetrain<\/td>\n<td>ME4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Arnav Agarwal<\/td>\n<td>Chassis<\/td>\n<td>ME4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Md Taskin Hossain<\/td>\n<td>Aerodynamics<\/td>\n<td>ME4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tan Shan Leong<\/td>\n<td>Suspension<\/td>\n<td>ME3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Soon Yi Hao<\/td>\n<td>Aerodynamics<\/td>\n<td>ME3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Vasudev Darshan Trivedi<\/td>\n<td>Aerodynamics<\/td>\n<td>ME3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Joshua Chan Hui Qiang<\/td>\n<td>Chassis<\/td>\n<td>ME3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Michael Yap Ming Sheng<\/td>\n<td>Drivetrain<\/td>\n<td>ME3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Venkata Krishnan Satiyam<\/td>\n<td>Electricals &amp; Electronics<\/td>\n<td>EE3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Previous Cars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SMO-12C &#8211; Urban Concept Car 2012<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2019\/02\/2012-SMO-12C.jpg\" alt=\"2012 Smo 12c\" \/><\/p>\n<p>K2R &#8211; Urban Concept Car 2011<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2019\/02\/2011-K2R-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"2011 K2r\" \/><\/p>\n<p>KRUCE 2 &#8211; Urban Concept Car 2010<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2019\/02\/2010-nus-eco-car-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"2010 Nus Eco Car\" \/><\/p>\n<p>KRUCE &#8211; Urban Concept Car 2009<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2019\/02\/2009-Kruce-300x163.jpg\" alt=\"2009 Kruce\" \/><\/p>\n<p>NUS-ECO1 &#8211; Urban Concept Car 2008<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2019\/02\/2008-Eco-car-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"2008 Eco Car\" \/><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NUS ECO Car NUS Eco-car Project has taken part in Shell Eco-Marathon from 2007 to 2012 and 2017 to 2018.
