What makes this HAN Eco Marathon so attractive? It is the freedom which the students have in designing and constructing their vehicles. Besides that, the competition aspect is a motivation to end as the ultimate winner. The students pass eight weeks of designing and eight weeks of production of the vehicles. These weeks are closed with a economical (sustainable) competition. The total budget contains only one thousand Euros. The creativity of the students results in many different vehicles.
Highly sustainable performance
During the pre-tests it seems that a few of the seven participating groups reach a unofficial consumption of 200 kilometers per liter. The competitions remains thrilling until the last session in which group 3 finally wins with an improbable consumption of 296 kilometers per liter.
