SHELL ECO-MARATHON ASIA RETURNS TO MALAYSIA IN ITS 10TH YEAR

Shell announced on February 11 that Malaysia will host Shell Eco-marathon Asia in 2019 as part of its global Make the Future Live programme. Held at Sepang International Circuit, Kuala Lumpur, the Asia competition comes back to where it was first held in 2010, and celebrates its 10^th year of challenging bright young student minds to design and build ultra-energy-efficient cars, and then take them out on the track in competition.

From April 29 to May 2 over 100 teams from all over Asia and the Middle East will test their self-built energy-efficient cars in the Shell Eco-marathon Mileage Challenge, to see who can go the farthest using the least amount of energy. In 2018 Singapore hosted the event, where the winning team was efficient enough to travel 2,341 kilometres – about the distance from Malaysia to Yangon, Myanmar – on just one litre of fuel!

“Shell Malaysia is proud to host the 10th Shell Eco-marathon Asia at our home ground. It is an inspiring event that supports Shell’s vision of sustainable mobility - more energy efficient vehicles and cleaner road transport. It’s really impressive to see student teams pitting their skills against their cohorts from different countries to see who can design and build the most fuel-efficient vehicle,” explained Iain Lo, Chairman of Shell Malaysia.

“Shell has been in Malaysia for over 125 years, and we will continue to power Malaysia’s future with cleaner, innovative and competitive energy solutions, some of which will be showcased at the event,” he further added.

Student teams will also have the opportunity to qualify for the Shell Eco-marathon Drivers’ World Championship. Introduced to the Shell Eco-marathon programme in 2016, Drivers’ World Championship challenges the best UrbanConcept teams to combine the proven energy efficiency of their car with the speed and skill of their driver, in a race to see who can cross the finish line first on the least amount of fuel. Qualified teams will go to London for a chance to compete with teams from Europe and the Americas. In 2018, ITS Team 2 from Indonesia’s Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember Surabaya was crowned the ultimate global winner of the Drivers’ World Championship, the second Asian team to win in the three years the competition has been running.

The Philippines will again participate in the 2019 Shell Eco-marathon Asia, with a contingent of 16 futuristic cars from 14 universities from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao competing to be the most energy efficient.

The Philippine team, which has the second biggest contingent after Indonesia’s 29 teams, are composed of student teams mostly from the college of Engineering representing their schools - Adamson University, Ateneo de Davao University, Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle Dasmarinas, De La Salle University-Manila, Mapua University, Institute of Technology, National University, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, Polytechnic University of the Philippines – Manila, University of Mindanao, University Of Perpetual Help System-Dalta, University of San Carlos, University of Santo Tomas, and University of the Philippines – Diliman.

”Every year, we see an increasing standard of performance, as well as team spirit and passion, among the student participants at Shell Eco-marathon Asia. The Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia is the perfect venue to witness new innovations in vehicle design come to life. We look forward to another exciting year at Shell Eco-marathon Asia,” said Shanna Simmons, Shell Eco-marathon Global Technical Director

Together We Ride Stronger: Shell Solidifies Support for Local Biking Community

Kicking off at Baguio City last July, Shell Bike Fair wraps up this year’s festivities with a bang this Saturday, September 22 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), Pasay City.

The biker community in the Philippines has grown exponentially as more and more riders consider two-wheeled vehicles as a more practical and convenient mode of transport. Based on the latest statistics from LTO, the number of registered motor vehicles in the Philippines has grown to 10.5 million as of 2017.

Pilipinas Shell, a reliable partner of the biker community, in making their rides better celebrates the courage and resilience of bikers as they take their daily journeys despite the difficulties that they face in weaving through obstacles on the road.

“This day is really to express how grateful we are for the support that we received from the Filipino biking community,” said Shell V-Power Brand Manager, Mark Malabanan. “As our theme says, together we ride stronger. We are honored to be chosen as their partner on the road, being there with them through the years. And, as we have for more than a hundred years, Pilipinas Shell continues to strive to make life’s journeys better for all motorists.”

Participants were treated to special offers from Shell and event sponsors as well as exciting games and booth activities. Performances by Rico Blanco, Rocksteddy, and other local acts also rocked the event alongside celebrity guests Daiana Menezes, Yam Concepcion, and Phoebe Walker.

Five winners each brought home scooters or motorcycles that were raffled off as major prizes:

Honda CBR150, Yamaha Mio i125, and Suzuki Raider J115. The biker community was also given the chance to express their creativity through the Modified Bike and Helmet Design contests.

The highlight of the day was the announcement of the big winner of Shell Outriders: the nationwide search for the best bike club.

A total of 17 finalists representing Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao were picked out through careful screening of hundreds of entries received over the past two months. The chosen clubs set up creative displays at the convention hall to showcase their love for riding and how they exhibit personal and social courage. The champions received a cash prize of PHP 100,000.00 and fuel vouchers worth PHP 50,000.00.

“We put up this search because we want to recognize bike clubs who exemplify the brand values and ideals of Shell. We were amazed to see how passionate they are for what they do and how they push to continue to outride anything.” said Shell Advance Brand Manager, Lorrie Ramirez.

This year’s Shell Bike Fair was made possible by Shell Advance and Shell V-Power, led by their passion to be the most reliable partners on the road. As a global leader in power and energy, Shell continually works to deliver smarter products and cleaner energy solutions.

Shell Eco-Marathon Asia 2015

Shell gathered experts on resilience and smart cities to inform and inspire some 300 regional delegates at the second Powering Progress Together Forum in Manila. Themed “Resilience in an Urbanising World”, the session was moderated by international broadcast journalist Maryam Nemazee and was held against the backdrop of the annual Shell Eco-marathon Asia student mileage competition. Asia is the fastest growing region in the world, with a billion people added to its cities from 1980 to 2010. The vital resources of energy, water and food are coming under great pressure as a result. Urbanisation drives Asia’s position as an economic powerhouse, but for this growth to be sustainable, careful planning is being urged to create more resilient cities that are not only resource-efficient, but also promote quality of life. To address these challenges, the Powering Progress Together Forum featured interactive presentations, interviews and lively panel discussions featuring a diverse group of leading experts including His Excellency Asif Ahmad (British Ambassador to the Philippines), Ms Saya Kitasei (Head of Resilience at international environmental advisory firm Xyntéo), Glynn Ellis (Strategic Energy Advisor, Shell Corporate Strategy and Planning), Architect Felino “Jun” Palafox, Jr., (Principal Architect and Urban Planner, Palafox Associates) and Holger Dalkmann (Director at Embarq, a World Resources Institute programme on sustainable transport).

Dr. Glynn Ellis, Strategic Energy Advisor, Royal Dutch Shell plc, is seen at the morning session of the Powering Progress Together Forum on Resilience in an Urbanising World in Manila on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015.

“Urbanisation will be one of the most significant dynamics affecting the future, presenting both opportunities and risks,” said Glynn Ellis, Ph.D., of the Shell Scenarios group which spearheads the company’s practice of exploring plausible alternative visions of the future to help test and strengthen its current business decisions.

With experience in scenario-building for more than 40 years, last year Shell published the “New Lenses on Future Cities” report. It is the latest in a range of new analytical tools—so-called "lenses"— to help better understand the urbanising world and to support city planning and development.


“We applied these lenses to different city types and created scenarios around how individual cities could evolve and how they might be more efficient,” explains Ellis. “Shell’s Scenarios team continues to engage directly with the cities themselves — including the city mayors, councils, federal authorities, non-profit organisations and communities — to listen to and try to understand their vision for progress and the challenges that they may be facing to achieve that growth.”

Beyond academic and subject matter experts, the Powering Progress Together Forum showcased the private sector’s perspective on contributing to resilience. This was led by Shell Philippines country chairman Edgar Chua, Coca-Cola director for sustainability in ASEAN Stuart Hawkins and Hewlett-Packard vice president for public sector programs Suparno Banerjee.

The forum also spotlighted inspirational stories on innovative sustainability initiatives, such as the Liter of Light project spearheaded by social entrepreneur Illac Diaz, and efficient disaster relief management efforts in the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, presented by American Red Cross situational awareness manager Luke Beckman.





“Each sector of society has an important contribution in creating more sustainable cities of the future. Through collaborative action, cities—homes to billions of people—can be the sustainable hubs we need them to be,” concludes Ellis.


About Shell Eco-marathon

Shell Eco-marathon began in 1939 at a Shell research laboratory in the United States as a friendly wager between scientists to see who could get the most miles per gallon from their vehicle. The winner of that contest barely achieved 50 mpg (21 km/l), and from these humble origins, a more organized competition evolved. In 1985 in France, Shell Eco-marathon as we know it today was born. In April 2007, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas event was launched in the United States, and in 2010, the inaugural Shell Eco-marathon Asia was held in Malaysia. Malaysia hosted Shell Eco-Marathon Asia until 2013. Since 2014, the event is being held in Manila, Philippines, which will continue to host the event until 2016.
