Norman Koch

I want to start off by thanking all of you for your flexibility and understanding as we evolved the Shell Eco-marathon program due to the impact of COVID-19. As the situation keeps evolving, the health and safety of our participants and the organizing teams remains our top priority. Whilst we might not be able to gather around the tracks this year, we have been thinking how to recognize the hard work of our teams. We want to celebrate your amazing innovations you have shown in the Off-Track Award submissions, which are very much worthy of an Awards Ceremony. Roll the titles, please.

#ShellEcoMarathon #MakeTheFuture

Live from Norman’s House

[Video footage]

Talking-head footage of Norman, seen against the background of a living area. Note that the alternating “#ShellEcoMarathon” and “#MakeTheFuture” text appears in the top right-hand corner throughout the video.

[Background music plays]

Orchestral music transitions to a fast, edgy rock beat. Whooshing sounds accompany title transitions throughout the video.

[Animated sequence]

A light blue trophy graphic zooms into frame, centred over a darker blue background watermarked with rows of scrolling Eco-marathon related icons, alternate rows scrolling in opposite directions. After pausing at frame centre, the trophy graphic zooms to fill the frame and then dissolves, replaced by white, red and yellow lines that originate at frame centre and shoot out across the frame in various directions. Again, the trophy graphic zooms into frame, animating at frame-right, and title text in shades of red, yellow and white animates at frame-centre. Finally, a broad diagonal yellow line wipes across the frame, marking the transition to video footage of Norman seated in his home. The Awards title text and trophy graphic display briefly at frame centre, before exiting in a shrink animation.

I know I want to get back to the racetrack and ways of normal living that we’re so used to, and I’m sure you guys are as well.

This year’s entries for the Technical Innovation Award were really strong. The winning team designed, constructed and refined an airless tire and wheel combination. They optimized four wheels for weight reduction, frictional grip, rolling resistance and aerodynamics. These tire-wheel combinations have the potential for various real-world applications and energy savings. And the winner of this year’s Shell Eco-marathon Technical Innovation Award is…

I’m very excited to be on the show today. This was a very competitive category and the judges were very impressed by the winning team’s entry. They had excellent innovative design, research, original execution for ergonomics, aesthetics, choice of materials, technical feasibility and eco-friendliness. The judging panel particularly appreciated the original and well-proportioned styling of the Tech-E. The aesthetic was backed up by the team’s careful attention to detail in strengthening and stiffening the frame, upgrading the powertrain and keeping the driver safe.

And our final award of the year is brand new for 2020. The Circular Economy Award recognizes the team that makes best continual use of resources and eliminates waste. We now have lead judge, Ben Proler from Shell on the line. Hey, Ben, can you please tell us what impressed the jury the most about this year’s winning team and, most importantly, who are they?

Talking-head footage of Norman, seen against the background of a living area. Next, two side-by-side screens display against the animated blue background and a small version of the Awards title text and trophy graphic displays at the centre of the bottom of the frame. The two screens display close-up footage of Norman and Ben Proler respectively. We briefly cut away to footage of just Norman speaking into the camera, as previously described, before returning to the split-screen footage showing both Norman and Ben.

Benjamin Proler

Yes, it was really great being a judge in this year’s brand-new award. What impressed the judges the most about the winners this year was their ingenuity in using recycled parts, 3-D printing and even hockey sticks.

The light blue trophy graphic zooms into frame, centred over the animated blue background. After pausing at frame centre, the trophy graphic zooms to fill the frame and then dissolves, replaced by white, red and yellow lines that originate at frame centre and shoot out across the frame in various directions. Again, the trophy graphic zooms into frame, animating at frame-right, and title text in shades of red, yellow and white animates at frame-centre.
