Eco-Runner XII aims to break the world record for the longest distance driven on one hydrogen tank, without refueling.
Team Delft, which aims to set a new world record for a hydrogen vehicle that will travel the farthest distance without refueling. The initiative recently released its latest iteration for this year, Eco-Runner XII.
A team of 23 students from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands is behind the project. Each year, they try to improve the design and aerodynamics of their small hydrogen-powered city car to make the most recent model surpass previous records.The team has come a long way since its prototype, Eco-Runner I, which participated in the Shell Eco-marathon, a worldwide energy efficiency competition in 2005.
The team is confident that with the Eco-Runner XII, it has now improved upon the design to ensure it becomes the "world's most efficient, hydrogen-powered city car," according to its web page.One of the critical goals of the team when developing the Eco XII was to decrease weight as much as possible. The consumption of energy while driving is directly linked to the mass of the car is lower.
The requirements have led to a unique bubble-car shape which allows it to keep aerodynamic drag and weight as low as possible. The car's curb weight stands at 147 pounds , and has a top speed of 15.5 mph .The segment has seen intense competition after Eco-Runner XI did 1196 kilometers. In October 2021,Another competitor emerged in 2022 under the moniker ARM Engineering.
The team hopes that improvements will help it regain the world record by covering a distance of more than 1276 miles in a single run. The record attempt will be made in June.
