ABOUT THE CAR
Green Team Twente aims to build one of the most energy efficient hydrogen cars in the world. The team succeeded to do so in the years 2019, 2017 and 2012. The biggest challenge this year is to make a winning car even better. To proof that we actually build the most energy efficient car, we participate in the Shell Eco-Marathon. This is an eco-race in which student teams compete for the most energy efficient car. This means that the race is not about speed but about who can drive a certain distance in a certain time with the least amount of fuel. This year we wanted to do something extra on top of winning, therefore we aim to make a road legal car. This will also show that it is possible to make efficient cars that are allowed on the road.
Why we focus on hydrogen as a team is simple. Soon fossil fuels will not be sufficient anymore and electric cars and hydrogen cars form the solution. Both type of cars make use of electro motors but one gets its energy from a battery and the other from hydrogen. Hydrogen is a better form of energy storage since it is the most abundant element in the universe therefore you cannot run out of it and it is also greener than batteries. Currently, there are a few hydrogen stations in the Netherlands and several hydrogen cars have been brought onto the market. By making our car we aim to push these developments.
In order to achieve these goals the team consist of several subteams each occupied by a different system in the car. More about what they do can be read on the team page.
