Shell Eco-marathon is very important to the DNV fuel fighter because of the very mission that we have, which is to inspire a sustainable future. Shell Eco-marathon gives us that platform to contribute to that sustainable future that we envision.

Karla:
So we explored the idea of using natural fibres and not just carbon fibre. So the natural fibre that we use for our monocoque chassis are made of flax.

Our team was inspired of using flax fibre in our design this year because most of our members are actually very invested in F1.

Reduce CO2 emissions
Karla:
It’s actually 85% lower in terms of CO2 emissions compared to carbon fibre, and it doesn't necessarily affect any of its performance. It's just a stiff and as lightweight as carbon fibre.

Karla:
This is my first Shell Eco-marathon. I thought it would be a bit more competitive, but since we got here, everybody has been so nice, and the culture is very, very different. It's a very open, inclusive and sharing environment.
