NTNU Fuel Fighter Team Prepares for 2026 Shell Eco Marathon in Poland
The NTNU student organization Fuel Fighter is preparing for the Shell Eco Marathon in Poland, aiming to optimize vehicle efficiency. Their electric vehicle currently achieves speeds of 30 km/h, with plans to transition to hydrogen power next year.
Fuel Fighter from NTNU is set to compete in the Shell Eco Marathon in Poland at the end of June, focusing on maximizing distance per fuel unit. The team is currently refining their electric vehicle, which operates at around 30 km/h, while preparing for a future shift to hydrogen power.
They have engaged with SINTEF and IFE, gaining practical experience that enhances their employability in the industry. The team has ordered a fuel cell for next year's vehicle, increasing its capacity by 60 W to over 600 W.
The shift back to hydrogen reflects ongoing trends in transportation technology, despite previous fluctuations in interest. This initiative aims to foster skills in emerging hydrogen technologies among students.
