Europe Virtual Off-Track Awards

The team developed an innovative in-wheel suspension system that improved vehicle dynamics and allowed the elimination of traditional suspension components. This enabled significant mass reduction that led to an increase in vehicle efficiency. Award presented by Southwest Research Institute.

The winning team were chosen for their professional communication plan and three-phase content strategy across a strong mix of media channels. Their engaging content is instantly recognisable with their #GoGreener campaign hashtag – a solid foundation for good brand building.

This team were deserving winners with their efficient hydrogen-powered vehicle that was closer to a modern city car and a step closer to sustainable mobility. Their excellent report covered simulation work completed to improve aerodynamic efficiency and weight optimisation. Award presented by Altair.

The winners were rewarded for their design prototype – a completed ecological vehicle, Hydros, with hydrogen as its power source. The prominent design, consideration to driver’s safety and attention given to recyclable materials shows a great deal of responsibility as future engineers. Award presented by Altair.

The team impressed the judges with their broad understanding of the circular economy concepts. Their strong focus on using waste as resources – from reprocessing waste plastic for 3-d printed parts, to the modular design for extending life and the re-use of system components – secured the team a second regional award.

Demonstrating a compelling commitment to the daily safety practices, this team’s approach to safety is to raise awareness and act proactively. From announcing all security measures, safety equipment, and safety rules in briefings to taking training courses to develop their general HSSE knowledge and culture, their approach was thorough and focussed.
