Meet the ITS Team Sapuangin from Indonesia
A long-standing participant in Shell Eco-marathon, ITS Team Sapuangin continue to contribute positively not only to the competition’s history but also to the field of energy-efficient vehicle design.
ITS Team Sapuangin, originating from Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, stands as Indonesia’s premier research and development team specialising in urban and formula cars with strong focus on energy efficiency. To them, Shell Eco-marathon has been a profound source of inspiration and a great opportunity to collaborate with like-minded peers, especially as STEM continues to hold significant importance in driving the progress of their country.
The team’s journey in Shell Eco-marathon has not been without challenges. This year, they had their own share of roadblocks such as limited manufacturing capabilities and resource constraints but refusing to be overcome by adversity, they turned these challenges into opportunities to innovate. With the goal to improve from last year, they did an overhaul – from their data evaluation system to their work culture, among others. Their tenacity and resilience paid off with an impressive Top 3 spot in the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East regional competition on-track and one of the Off-Track Awards: Data and Telemetry Award supported by Schmid Elektronik. They’re most proud to emerge as the only team to win the Data and Telemetry Award for three straight years. Getting to the podium and lifting their hard-earned trophy is a truly memorable moment for the team!
ITS Team Sapuangin are excited to compete at the World Championship, and looking forward to gaining rich experience and lessons to improve their vehicle for the future.
