Students Invited To Build and Design Super-Mileage Vehicles
Shell Eco-marathon Americas 2012
On your mark. Get set. Go. The sixth annual Shell Eco-marathon Americas 2012 is now open for registration to students across North and South America. This super-mileage challenge, created by Shell, is designed to inspire student innovation and develop future technologies that represent game-changing fuel efficiency and transportation performance.
The challenge builds on recent government announcements such as the historic U.S. fuel standard for cars and light trucks, which will bring fuel efficiency to 54.6 miles per gallon by 2025. To help meet the growing energy demand and reduce future CO2 emissions, Shell Eco-marathon challenges participants to design, build, and test vehicles to go the farthest distance using the least amount of energy.

From March 29 through April 1, 2012, the challenge will again take place on the streets of downtown Houston, the energy capital of the world. Shell Eco-marathon is held globally in a variety of locations and provides engineers of tomorrow the opportunity to put their energy efficiency ideas to the test.
