Fuel Fighter NTNU is a student team representing NTNU Trondheim in Shell Eco-marathon Europe Følg oss fram mot målet! Follow us towards our goal!

Shell Eco-marathon er en konkurranse hvor studenter fra ulike universitet i Europa skal konstruere motordrevne kjøretøyer som skal kjøre så langt som mulig på samme mengde energi. Målet er å fremme løsninger for smartere mobilitet, og studentlagene skal selv designe og bygge en bil basert på innovativ tankegang og smarte tekniske løsninger. Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet har hatt g

leden av å være presentert siden 2008. Gjennom dette prosjektet ønsker vi å være en arena hvor studenter kan utfordre seg selv både faglig og sosialt, og gjøre studentene bedre rustet til å møte arbeidslivet. In English:

Shell Eco-marathon is a competition were students from different Universities in Europe build cars. The goal is to drive as far as possible on as little energy as possible. The competition wants to promote solutions for more efficient vehicles. The teams will design and build a car based on innovation and smart solutions. Norwegian University of Science and Technology have been a competitor since 2008. Through this project we wish to be an arena where students can challenge themselves both academically and socially, and prepare them for professional life.

2 weeks ago we attended the Nordic Hydrogen Valleys Conference in Trondheim⭐️ Here we got to meet amazing people and partake in panels, discussions and workshops regarding the future of Hydrogen in all of the Nordics.
We even got our own more present challenge, managing the logistics of carrying our car upstairs to the conference hall for display😅

Last week we had our annual car-reveal! 🥳

We would like to thank everyone who came to have a look at the finished product.

We would also like to thank all of our sponsors who have made the completion of this car possible and especially for sending multiple representatives to celebrate the completion of the car with us.

The job however is not done.

In the coming weeks, testing of the car will be essential before the competition this summer at Shell Eco-Marathon. So stay posted to catch a glimpse of that too!😁
