The Eco-Runner 3
The next generation of the Eco-Runner is currently under design/construction and will participate in the Shell Eco Marathon 2011 where the target for the new team will be 3000 km/l. Simulations show that the vehicle might even do quite a lot better than this target. The team currently consists of around 20 dedicated members, designing and producing the new vehicle. Major improvements over the old vehicle include the aerodynamics and fuel cell efficiency which have all received major upgrades while the weight of the vehicle will drop by a significant amount. Almost no part of the Eco-Runner 3 will be off-the-shelf: 95% of all components are of an in-house design or at the very least modified to suite the team's specific needs. The vehicle is expected to be operational by end of April 2011.
