Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) announced its participation in the Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024 at the launching ceremony of this year’s prototype vehicle at the UBD Pro Chancellor Arts Centre on 13 May 2024.

Guest of Honour Dr Hazri Haji Kifle, Vice Chancellor of UBD officiated the vehicle named “Mekar” in the presence of this year’s sponsors including representatives from Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP), Brunei Shell Marketing (BSM), Unified National Networks Sdn Bhd (UNN), Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, and Shell Exploration Production Brunei B.V as well as UBD principal officers, academics, students and parents.

The Shell Eco-marathon is a unique competition that challenges students to design, build and drive the most energy-efficient prototype vehicle. Student-led teams take their innovations to the track to see who goes furthest on the least amount of energy or fuel which supports supreme energy efficiency. Organised by regions, the Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024 which will take place at the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit, Lombok, Indonesia from 2nd to 6th July 2024, will mark UBD’s ninth year in the competition.
