30 teams to compete in Shell Eco-marathon

Compared to only four entries last time, 30 teams from different universities have registered for the Shell Eco-marathon 2010, which has not only grown into a global competition but has also challenged young engineers to push the limits of fuel efficiency and build cleaner designs. “This is the highest number of entries in the entire competition,” said a top official for Shell. This year, for the first time in the history of the event, the Shell Eco-marathon would be held in Asia at the Sepang International Circuit Formula One racetrack in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on July 8-10, 2010.
