Description
Eco car development for racing by Muhammad Subhan bin Muhammad Moizuddin
Subhan will describe the nature of the Shell Eco -marathan Asia competition. How the design of the NTU car fared in 2011 competition and the improvements that were made for 2012 race. He will talk about plans for the future and for improvement to prototype.
Lightening the Load : The NUS Eco-Car Experience by Prof Ian Gibson
Ian will tell us about how the Shell Eco-marathon is a competition where contestants build vehicles that can go as far as possible on as little fuel as possible. There are 2 major vehicle categories and NUS have had significant success building cars in the Urban Concept class. A minimum height, 4 wheels, all-round brakes, a stop-start racing strategy and other requirements make this a significant challenge to mechanical engineers and the most obvious solution is to lighten the overall vehicle weight. This talk will discuss how the various eco-cars built by NUS students for this competition have dealt with this problem using a variety of innovative approaches.
