Engineering Meets Efficiency

We are University of Illinois’s premier efficiency car team, our goal is to design and build the most energy-efficient vehicles possible.

Our vehicles compete annually at Shell Eco-Marathon Americas, where we chase the highest miles per gallon (gasoline) and miles per kilowatt-hour (electric).

Enrich. Inspire. Impact.

We guarantee you hands-on projects in electronics, mechanical design, aerodynamics, statistical analysis, and many more!

“Imagine driving 1000 miles on 1 gallon of gas“

The Competition

We compete at Shell Eco-Marathon Americas using both gasoline and electric prototype vehicles alongside many other universities in North and South America. This competition is held in the late-Spring, either in Sonoma, California or Indianapolis, Indiana.

We have a strong competition history, performing extremely well in the battery-electric category in 2019!
