The Shell Eco-marathon is a unique competition that challenges students around the world to design, build and drive the most energy-efficient car. With three annual events in Asia, Americas and Europe, student teams take to the track to see who goes further on the least amount of fuel. The competition, which will debut in the Singapore track this weekend will host over 100 student teams from more than 15 countries all trying to break energy efficiency records.
