Shell Eco-marathon Europe - Shell Global
A unique competition brings together around 200 teams and 3,000 students from across Europe to battle for ultra energy efficiency on the road. The event also features the Shell Energy Lab, packed with attractions around innovation and the future of energy. Shell Eco-marathon Europe 2014 will take place from 15-18 May in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. See all the event updates!
Team Microjoule from France remained true to form and smashed the Rotterdam record for a Prototype petrol (gasoline) car. They improved on their 2013 performance by over 300 km to travel 3,314.9 km/l, more than enough to travel from Lisbon, Portugal, to Warsaw, Poland.
“We’re very happy,” says team leader Mickaël Fardeau. “It was a beautiful week with beautiful weather. The team and car were at their peak.”
In the hydrogen fuel cell Prototype category Dutch teams took first and second place, with Team H2A achieving 428.5 km/kWh equivalent. Austrians TERA TU Graz topped the Prototype battery electric category, with 1,091.6 km/kWh equivalent.

French teams also won the two remaining Prototype categories: Team IUT GMP Valenciennes went the furthest on diesel (1,300.1 km/l equivalent), and Team Toulouse Ingénierie Multidisciplinaire came top of the new alternative energy category, which combines ethanol and GTL: they drove 2,757.2 km/l equivalent on ethanol.
