Shell Eco-Marathon 2010

Print - The phrases "driving pleasure" and "saving fuel" seem to be complete opposites. Fully enjoying a car simply costs a bit more fuel. Shell wanted to prove pleasure and efficiency can be a match during the Eco-Marathon 2010, which was held from 5 to 7 May 2010 in Berlin. The most efficient drivers from Europe took part in an economy-run for the grand prize: a super frugal Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion. Teams of students went one step further and built their own extremely efficient vehicles.
