Vietnam will field nine teams at the 2015 Shell Eco-marathon Asia competition taking place February 26 to March 1 in Manila, the Philippines.

Tran Duc Nguyen, head of the IUH-FAST team from Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry said the competition encourages students to be creative and apply advanced technology to efficiently use power.
Nguyen said the competition challenges students’ innovativeness and creativeness requiring them to design and construct the most energy efficient vehicle. It seeks to inspire young engineers from around the region to develop new approaches to fuel efficiency.
This year’s tournament has attracted more than 100 teams from 17 countries, said Tran Hong Van, general director of Shell Vietnam.
It was first organised in France 30 years ago and has since then taken place in Asia, Europe and America. This is the sixth time it has taken place in Asia and the second time in Manila, the Philippines.
