Asia
Shell Eco-marathon is a global energy efficiency competition sponsored by Shell where teams build vehicles to achieve the highest possible fuel efficiency. The competition is divided into two classes, Prototype, and UrbanConcept, and three energy categories: battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and internal combustion engine. Since 2010, Semar UGM Team has been a proud participant in the prestigious Shell Eco-marathon Asia and Middle East competition, which began in 1985 in Europe. Our team made its debut in 2010 in Malaysia, with our first-generation proto gasoline car and we were honored to receive the award for Best 10 Innovative Design.
The following year, we returned to the competition with our first-generation urban car and achieved a remarkable 3rd place finish. After a brief hiatus, we returned to the competition in 2017 with renewed determination to prove our team’s global competitiveness. Our efforts paid off, as we were named grand finalists in the Driver’s World Championship Regional Asia. In 2018, we achieved even greater success, with 2nd Place in Urban Gasoline, 4th Place in Prototype Electric, and 1st Place in the Driver’s World Championship Asia. We are proud of our achievements and are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of sustainable transportation technology on the global stage.
