Hyderabad: Shell announced the opening of registration for Shell Eco-marathon (SEM) Asia 2016. The annual competition challenges aspiring young engineers to build vehicles of the future that can go the farthest on the least amount of energy. It brings together current and future leaders, along with a broader public, and encourages debate around sustainable solutions to the challenge of rising global energy demand.


The registrations for the competition were initiated on July 1 and will be closed on July 22, 2015. As Shell Eco-marathon enters its seventh Asian edition, Shell India has invited engineering colleges across the country to participate in the student innovation competition.


A public festival celebrating innovative thinking and future mobility, Shell Eco-marathon will be held at Manila, Philippines between March 3rd–6th, 2016. India has been participating at SEM since 2012 with the entries improving each year. During SEM Asia 2014, Eco Warriors, a team from Madras Institute of Technology, Chennai (MIT Chennai) won the 'Perseverance and Team Spirit Award’ for their hard work and determination.


At SEM Asia 2015, a team from Thailand clocked the highest mileage of the competition with 1,572 km on a litre of ethanol – the approximate equivalent distance between New Delhi to Hyderabad. The selection process for SEM Asia includes three distinct phases.


At each stage students are challenged to push their ideas to the limit and showcase the ingenuity of their design and ideas.
