Countdown’s Rachel Riley modelled a potential car of the future ahead of the Shell Eco-Marathon in London.

The vehicles, weighing in at just 30kg, were designed by students competing in the world’s longest running student competition, Shell Eco-marathon, where vehicles are measured on how far they can travel on just a litre of fuel. The current record is 3771km/l – the equivalent of travelling from London to Helsinki and back!

This year,the marathon will be showcased at Make the Future London – a festival of ideas and innovation taking place a Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from June 30 to July 3.

The competition challenges students to design and build ultra-energy efficient cars, then drive them on a purpose-built track to see which can travel the furthest on the least amount of energy.

With over 230 European teams entered to take part, competition is expected to be fierce. For the third consecutive year, University College London are stepping up to the plate to build a brand new car. Team Hydrone will take to the track with their hydrogen prototype vehicle, Hydrone AB3.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
