Green Team Twente is a student team that builds one of the world’s most fuel-efficient hydrogen cars. Each year, we participate in the Shell Eco-Marathon (SEM) Europe. Which is a race between teams from different schools and universities where the most efficient car wins. This year, we did not only win the SEM Europe, but also the Drivers’ World Championship. In this race, teams from all over the world, with different energy type cars, compete to see who can drive the fastest. ...
