Design, engine fixed, car’s frame made, etc, all were done by these students. After several months, these three “made in Vietnam” cars have been completed and been ready to take part in the “saving energy racing” with other countries.

Spending several months and with the guidance of teachers, students from the three Vietnamese famous universities: Ho Chi Minh University of Technology, Hanoi University of Technology and Hanoi University of Communications and Transport, have completed the three self-made cars to join the Shell Eco-marathon Asia Racing organized in Malaysia from 6-9 July, 2011. According to Nguyen Ngoc Dung, researcher and lecturer of the Faculty of Automobile and Power Engineering of HCMUT, the self-made cars could achieve the saving consumption of a liter of gasoline for 320km, depending on certain conditions such as: road racing, speed winds, driving skills.

Le Thanh, Director General of Vietnam Shell said, the purpose of the racing is to encourage the scientists and engineers to have creative thinking about fuel efficiency and bring their ideas into reality.
