… and the winner is

for third time in a row the Shell Eco-Marathon (prototype hydrogen) has been won by teams with ZBT fuel cells

Nach zwei Siegen des Amsterdamer Teams H2Amsterdam war beim Shell Eco-Marathon 2015 (Kategorie Wasserstoffantriebe) nur noch das Team aus Delft besser: In der Prototypen-Klasse geht es darum, möglichst effiziente Fahrzeuge aufzubauen und über eine definierte Distanz in Mindestzeit fahren zu lassen. Für diese besonders windschnittigen Fahrzeuge hat ZBT bereits seit vielen Jahren Brennstoffzellen-Stacks und Systeme für verschiedene Teams individuell zugeschnitten. Das Eco-Runner Team Delft (Delft University Of Technology) war 2015 klarer Sieger des Wettbewerbs vor dem zweitplatzierten und Vorjahressieger H2A. Beide fahren seit vielen Jahren mit Brennstoffzellentechnologie aus Duisburg.

After two victories of Amsterdams H2A Team at Shell Eco-Marathon 2015 (competition hydrogen powered vehicles) this year only the team from Delft was better: In the prototype competition “futuristic, streamlined vehicles, where the primary design consideration is to reduce friction and maximise efficiency” compete for highest efficiencydriving. For such teams ZBT since many years is designing adapted fuel cell systems. The Eco-Runner Team Delft (Delft University Of Technology) 2015 has won the competition, secon was H2Amsterdam. Both teams since years rely on fuel cell technologies from Duisburg.

For the first time ZBT has designed fuel cell systems for the second competition “Urban Concept”: The most successful team with ZBT’s technology at rank 5 was HIDROIST, a Team of university of Istanbul. The Urban Concept has the focus on “more conventional concept vehicles, designed and built to roadworthy specifications suited to the needs of today’s drivers”, resulting in higher energy demand during the race.
