Last summer, the SZEnergy Team won Europe’s biggest energy-efficient car race with a world record, and this year it will compete in the Shell-Eco Marathon, where it is aiming to win the title in the traditional small city car category, and this year it is aiming for the top step of the podium in the self-driving car race, after finishing second last year. The team of students from Széchenyi István University presented their developments and unveiled this year’s car at the institution, and will soon travel to France to compete in the autonomous category on 19 May.
From autonomous transport systems to e-mobility, the Vehicle Industry Research Centre of Széchenyi István University has achieved important results this year in a number of areas that are considered to be the most up-to-date. And the success of its talent management is demonstrated by the exceptional international achievements of the student teams it mentors.
The SZEnergy Team, a team of students developing electric vehicles at Széchenyi István University, recently achieved the biggest triumph in its history when it won Europe’s most important energy efficiency competition, the Shell Eco-marathon, with a world record. The team has achieved yet another international success, this time taking the podium in the Shell Eco-marathon Autonomous Challenge, a new competition for teams developing self-driving cars.
The SZEnergy Team, a team of students from Széchenyi István University, came first in Europe’s largest energy efficiency competition, the Shell Eco-marathon in Assen, the Netherlands. The team of Győr managed to cover a world record 284 kilometres with their vehicle using 1 kilowatt hour of energy, beating teams from major technical universities such as Munich, Toulouse and Milan.
The SZEnergy Team of Széchenyi István University has won 4th place at the Shell Eco-marathon Autonomous Programming Competition (APC), outperforming famous universities such as Berkeley, California. The team members were welcomed at the institute’s Automotive Research Centre. The university, which is at the forefront of engineering disciplines, is committed to providing practical training and promoting talent.
In the 2022 season, after two years, we once again had the opportunity to present our Shell Eco-marathon vehicle at a traditional Rollout event.
The event was hosted by the Management Campus of Széchenyi István University on May 25. The SZEmission (our race car) was met with great enthusiasm, as many partners, university lecturers, and alumni team members attended the event.
For the first time, a partnership day of student teams was organised and supported by the Vehicle Industry Research Centre of Széchenyi István University at the Management Campus . The teams presented their unique developments at the event.
