Powered by Spectronik Protium Eco-Marathon Fuel Cell

On 21-24 October 2024, university teams competed in Shell Eco-Marathon China 2024 in Golden Port, Beijing, China. The goal of the competition is to build the most fuel-efficient vehicle across different power sources (battery electric, Hydrogen and ICE) and categories (prototype and urban concept).

BITEPC I/ 翼昇节能车队 一队 from Beijing Institute of Technology (China) won 1st place in the Prototype Hydrogen category with a fuel efficiency result of 421km/m3. Powered by Spectronik’s Protium Eco-Marathon fuel cell system, this result is a 41.3% improvement from BITEPC I’s earlier result of 298km/m3 just 3 months ago in Shell Eco-Marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024 in July, when the team finished third in Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit, Lombok, Indonesia.

In the true spirit of marathon, the primary objective is not to win but to complete the race and improve on the individual’s personal best record. Spectronik is honored to have been part of BITEPC I’s journey and we look forward to supporting more teams to achieve their fullest potential in future competitions.

A huge congratulations once again to all team members of BITEPC I from Beijing Institute of Technology.
