Teams from Singapore get official send off
Eight student teams from Singapore will hit the track at the Sepang International Circuit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to compete in the annual Shell Eco-marathon.
As of 20 June 2012, a total of 130 teams from 18 countries in Asia and the Middle East will be participating in the challenge.
In the lead up to the race at Sepang, a ceremonial send-off event was held at Sentosa in Singapore, with student teams showcasing their innovations and sharing stories of their aspirations.
This year’s line-up boasts a range of new and improvised vehicles running on a variety of energy sources such as diesel, hydrogen, batteries, plug-in electricity, and solar.
The eight Singapore student teams hail from Ngee Ann Polytechnic (“NP”), National University of Singapore (“NUS”), Nanyang Technological University of Singapore (“NTU”), Institute of Technical Education College West (“ITE College West”), as well as new entrant Singapore Polytechnic (“SP”).
For the first time, the event will see new teams from Hong Kong, Korea, Lebanon, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates taking part.
