Metalcolor Champions Innovation: Supporting Future Engineers at the Shell Eco-Marathon

Metalcolor is excited to financially sponsor the “School of Engineering and Architecture of Fribourg” students in the Shell Eco-marathon. This collaboration focuses on ETA-ONE, a student-engineered vehicle designed for sustainable transportation, boasting impressive features like an internal combustion engine with just 0.22 L consumption per 100 km.

The Shell Eco-marathon, now in its 39th year, gathers young engineers from Europe and Africa to create ultra-efficient vehicles. The ETA-ONE team, led this year by marketing head Olivier Henderson, has demonstrated resilience and innovation over four years, aiming for a fuel efficiency breakthrough of 400-450 km per liter.

This year, these future engineers are revamping their vehicle with test benches for extensive testing, a redesigned rear chassis, and overhauls in braking and steering systems for enhanced performance.

Aiming to qualify for the World Championships in October 2024, their progress highlights the practical, real-world education they receive. Metalcolor’s sponsorship underscores our commitment to fostering education and innovation for a sustainable future.
