3688 km/l Achieved at Shell Eco-marathon Europe 2011 - Green Cars

Extreme mileage was the objective petroleum daily at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz in Germany as 187 teams as of 10 obtainable competed in the Shell Eco-marathon Europe 2011, a confront for everyday jobs to design, construct and examination great fuel-efficient vehicles.

The winners in the Internal Combustion collection of students now French Team Microjoule as of La Joliverie in a Prototype Gasoline car, nervousness 3688.2 km/l (8677 mpg US), and DTU Roadrunners as of Technical University of Denmark heavy the equal of 509.4 km/l (1199 mpg US) in an UrbanConcept Ethanol car.

This day for the primary time, present now two classes for rivalry " one for interior combustion heavy and a next for cars by means of electric heavy (hydrogen petroleum cells, plug-in batteries and solar technology).

The highlights in the E-mobility collection of students now two new Prototype Solar and Hydrogen petroleum cell records. Team mecc-Sun as of the Politecnico di Milano (Italy) intended and liberally a solar-powered car able of travelling an outstanding 1,108 kilometers on now 1 kWh (688 m/kWh) of energy.

The side as of Polytech Nantes (France), present record-holders in the Prototype Hydrogen petroleum cell category, beat it by heavy 590.2 km/kWh (367 m/kWh).

TERA TUGraz as of the Technical University of Graz (Austria) competed in the primary still Plug-in battery Prototype competition, location a benchmark attainment for prospect existence of 842.5 km/kWh (524 m/kWh), as,at the same time as the side as of Fachhochschule Trier in Germany reached 232.9 km/kWh (145 m/kWh) in the UrbanConcept category.

Each day an award is too known to the car construct emits the smallest amount CO2 emission. This day a new evidence was set by Team proTRon (Germany) in the UrbanConcept group construct pushed the boundary in spotless heavy beneath 2 g/km (1.972 g/km) and the Prototype winner, TERA TUGraz (Austria), liberally a car so as to emits now 0.545 g/km.

The Shell Eco-marathon Europe is moving to a new site for 2012. After inquisitiveness existence at EuroSpeedway Lausitz in Germany the rivalry determination go to Rotterdam in the Netherlands after that year.
