Plug is proud to be a sponsor of Eco-Runner XII, a car a part of the Shell Eco-Marathon, a global competition focused on making mobility more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sleek Eco-Runner XII \u2014 developed by students \u2014 is the world&#8217;s most efficient hydrogen-powered city car, which has so far driven 1,195 kilometers on just 350 grams, setting a world record. Aside from powering this modern car with hydrogen, the designers of Eco-Runner created a vehicle with less weight \u2014 acknowledging that less energy is needed when a vehicle weighs less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designers said that in order to limit the weight in the car, they created carbon fiber parts that are traditionally made with steel. They also developed a custom-made electrical motor with increased efficiency and optimized the powertrain system with a fuel cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the team that brought this vision to life included 23 students, from 10 different study backgrounds, from Delft University of Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Eco-Runner symbolizes the possibilities that can be achieved when applying innovation to existing applications. Plug is a strong believer that green hydrogen can safely provide up to 20% of the world\u2019s energy needs. However, to reach that goal, we need to work together to change how we power existing applications through smart innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to the Eco-Runner team for joining Plug in leading the charge! We\u2019ll see you on the road!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"entry-oembed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing the Eco-Runner XII! | Car Reveal\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fZkxL1eEaq8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fZkxL1eEaq8\">Introducing the Eco-Runner XII! | Car Reveal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plug is proud to be a sponsor of this hydrogen-powered car, which recently took to the tracks.
