Abstract
The Shell Eco-Marathon (SEM) is a renowned global eco-racing competition that challenges students like us at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) to design, build, and race vehicles with a focus on achieving the best fuel or electric economy. SEM consists of three regional divisions, namely America, Europe, and Asia, with the upcoming SEMA 2023 hosted at the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit in Lombok, Indonesia. As participants from USM, we actively engage in the SEM Urban Concept category, targeting vehicles designed to meet traditional four-wheel roadworthiness standards. We, as part of the USM team, compete against other universities to develop innovative solutions that balance environmental consciousness with practicality. Our goal is to design vehicles capable of maximizing energy efficiency while meeting essential roadworthy requirements. As we represent USM in the Shell Eco-Marathon, we strive to extract the maximum distance from a single charge, utilizing our expertise and ingenuity to optimize energy usage. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies, applying aerodynamic designs, employing lightweight materials, and utilizing advanced powertrains, we aim to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of urban mobility. The Shell Eco-Marathon serves as a valuable educational project for us at USM, motivating engineering students to explore and innovate in sustainable mobility and energy efficiency. As part of our involvement in the competition, we collaborate, problem-solve, and develop groundbreaking solutions that address current and future transportation and energy challenges. By participating in the SEM, we proudly represent USM, contributing to a greener future and promoting environmental stewardship through sustainable urban transportation systems.
