Review the Shell Eco-marathon 2021 Official Rules These body panels must easily connect to one another and must easily connect to the vehicle frame. The objective of the Shell 2 team this semester is to complete the design for the body of the 2022 vehicle and to have the body ready to be manufactured by next semester’s team.

Driver comfort, affordability, and manufacturability are also concerning of the customer. Shell prioritizes safety and fuel efficiency. The vehicle must satisfy all the guidelines provided in the Shell Eco-marathon Official Rules. A common element in recent concept car designs has been panoramic roofs, roofs with expanded sunroof panels or windows that expand onto the roofline.

This competition challenges participants to design, manufacture, and construct and fuel-efficient vehicle that is capable of functioning in an urban environment. For parallel-parking urban drivers, we avoided an overly long design, but the focus here is a common cause for forward-thinking car companies. The Shell Eco-Marathon Urban Concept Car competition is an event hosted by Royal Dutch Shell every year.
