High Tech innovation to reach the highest efficiency
This is the home for the Ecoracer project at Aalborg University – Department of Energy Technology.
This project is a project supported by Aalborg Universitet – Department of Energy Technology with the goal to involve students in running a Hydrogen Urban Concept car at Shell Eco-Marathon.
The car is run with a hydrogen fuel cell in the reach of making the car as efficient as possible. The Fuel cell technology, and the use of lightweight components in the car, enables the car to run at up to 600 km/l (95 octane equivalent)
Follow the team here as they work on improving the car.
The team has returned with a great result (2nd place in Urban Concept, Hydrogen) and we have made a small video to remember the trip. We returned with a result of 214.27 km/m3 (hydrogen) which corresponds to about 640km pr liter (95 octane petrol).
It hasn’t been a secret that the Shell Eco-Marathon 2019 is to be held in London once again but now we’ve got the exact location and oh boy… we are going to Mercedes-Benz World for SEM19! This is definitely an upgrade from last year and we are absolutely ecstatic and thrilled about attending SEM19 in …
Cimbrer II had a fatal crash last week! Our baby is destroyed! …Well partially. We have now had some time to digest the crash and evaluate what went wrong. This is how our driver Jacob Pedersen experienced the episode: “Suddenly the steering broke completely apart and the wheels locked directly to the left sending both Cimbrer …
The students involved with the project will learn to work together in a high paced, technical and challenging environment. All this in the goal to either be better than the neighboring university or to beat their own record.
