JUST 0.025% OF INDIAN ENGINEERS CARE FOR THE FUTURE !!?? WE THINK INDIA CAN DO BETTER

        The highest mileage achieved at the Shell Eco Marathon Asia, 2014 is 2730 kilometers per liter in the ethanol category and 1796 kilometers per liter in the prototype gasoline category. 1796 kilometers, that is almost half the entire coastline of India, on a single liter of gasoline. For some reading this post, this achievement still exists in the realm of impossibility. Henry Ford once said,” If you think you can, or you think you can’t, you are right”. The question is, do we always think we can? Do we pause to think about the possibilities of success, before mining out any reasons that we can find to show the enormous nature of the task that lies ahead? 

          The Shell Eco Marathon challenges students from around the globe to design and build ultra-fuel efficient cars that hold the portal to the future. In 2014, the competition saw 17 teams from India, 17 teams from about 15 Universities. 500 odd students from a country that produces approximately 2 million engineers a year. 500 from a country that has more than 5 million aspirants and innovative thinkers, is merely a fraction of the whole. Barack Obama said,” Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek”. If you wish to create, create. If you have an idea, think about it. Maybe, just maybe it would revolutionize the world, and most importantly find happiness out of it, because after all, you are the master of your own actions.

           Team Eco-Titans is an initiative taken by a few students with the help of VIT University. Through constant work and dedication, we were able to achieve a few things, and more importantly learn a lot more. It is our humble request, to all our fellow students from across the country who have a passion for fuel efficient cars, to collaborate with similar people, and to start realizing your dreams, to make your dream car. We hope next year in Philippines, we see a lot more of the Indian flag, waving strong. Feel free to ask any queries related to the ultra fuel efficiency concept to our technical team in the comment box below.
