The Shell Eco-marathon challenges student teams from around the world to design and build energy efficient vehicles. The winners are the teams that go the furthest distance using the least amount of energy.

Huntsman Advanced Materials has been instrumental in a student project that showcases the possibilities of building a lightweight, fuel efficient hybrid concept car using high-performance composite materials made of flax and carbon fiber. The ‘eXtreme Automotive Mobility’ (XAM) has been designed and manufactured by a student team from the Polytechnic of Turin, Italy. The ‘XAM’ recorded an official fuel consumption of 100.2 km/l and producing just 26 g/km of CO2 during the marathon.
