The event promises to be an exciting experience for students from around the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East region, who will be competing in a series of eco-friendly challenges designed to test their skills and knowledge in the field of sustainable mobility.
The Eco-marathon Concept
The Shell Eco-marathon is a global competition that brings together students from various countries to showcase their innovative and eco-friendly vehicle designs. The event is designed to promote sustainable mobility and encourage students to think creatively about the future of transportation. The competition involves a series of challenges that test the students’ vehicles in different scenarios, such as fuel efficiency, range, and emissions. Key challenges include: + Fuel efficiency: Students must design a vehicle that can achieve the highest fuel efficiency while still meeting the required safety standards. + Range: Students must design a vehicle that can travel the longest distance on a single tank of fuel. + Emissions: Students must design a vehicle that produces the lowest emissions while still meeting the required safety standards.
The Qatar International Exhibition Centre
The Qatar International Exhibition Centre is a state-of-the-art venue that will host the inaugural Shell Eco-marathon Qatar. The centre features a range of facilities, including exhibition halls, conference rooms, and a large outdoor area that will be used for the competition.

Students develop innovative solutions to reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable energy practices.
Shell Eco-marathon is a unique opportunity for students to develop their skills in engineering, design, and innovation, while also gaining hands-on experience in the field of sustainable energy.
The Origins of Shell Eco-marathon
The Shell Eco-marathon programme was first launched in 2007 by Shell, a multinational oil and gas company. The programme was created to encourage students to develop innovative solutions to reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable energy practices. The first event took place in Singapore, with teams from around the world participating in the competition.
The Competition Format
The Shell Eco-marathon competition is a global event that brings together student teams from over 30 countries. The competition format is designed to test the teams’ ability to design and manufacture energy-efficient vehicles. The teams are given a set of rules and guidelines to follow, and they must design and build a vehicle that meets the requirements. The vehicle must be powered by a combination of human power and electric power. The vehicle must be designed to achieve a minimum average speed of 25 km/h.
Through Shell Eco-marathon, Shell aims to inspire and support the next generation of engineers, scientists, and innovators in their pursuit of sustainable solutions. More information is available at www.shellecomarathon.com.
