NTNU participated in the competition for the Shell Eco Marathon in London, "World Championship" for energy-efficient cars for a decade. At the weekend, they went almost to the top, led by Sivert Red Hatletveit of Molde.
The car achieved an energy consumption equivalent to 176.4 kilometers per kilowatt hour in the competition.
– If the car had the same amount of energy as a fully loaded Tesla Model S100 D, it could have traveled a distance of 17,640 kilometers! The students could have driven the distance Trondheim – Cape Town, via London toll free. The battery had first penetrated after traveling a few thousand kilometers, writes DNV GL, the main sponsor of the project, in a press release.

NTNU students have been developing DNV GL Fuel Fighter for several years, a car 3 meters long and 1.2 meters high with an aerodynamic design and two electric motors (200 W) .This weighs 85 kilos in total.
– NTNU participated in this competition 10 times earlier, we are building on the experience and solutions of previous years, weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics are important factors. new solutions, looking for new opportunities – all the time, says Red Hatletveit.
140 teams from 24 countries participated in this year's competition.The NTNU team participated in the construction of cars of years of regular urban traffic
Students collaborated with designer and entrepreneur Bård Eker in Fredrikstad.
– It was a great pleasure to work with these talented students. I hope we contributed to their results in EkerDesign, but the students also gave us a lot.
