Thanks for Your Support

The official crowdfunding platform of Colorado School of Mines.

 

On behalf of the Colorado School of Mines Shell Eco Marathon team. We wanted to thank you once again for your generous donation to our team! We recently returned from the Shell Eco Marathon competition in Indianapolis, and thanks to your contributions, we completed a successful test of the car. Our team placed 9th overall in the battery-electric category, against 23 other teams! Our final efficiency metric was determined to be 134 miles per kilowatt-hour.

 

We have attached some images of the final product of the car and some team photos at the speedway. Without your help, we wouldn’t have made it to the competition or had a car to compete with, so we all appreciate you helping us succeed in our journey. 

 

Again, thank you so much for supporting our team. We could not have done it without you!

 

Sincerely,

Ben Napier and Team Peak Efficiency

TSR Supports the Shell Eco-Marathon

Our Project

Last year's Mines Shell Eco-Marathon Team produced an electric vehicle that passed the Shell Eco-Marathon tech-inspection and was cleared to race.

 

They scored tenth overall in a competition with over 80 teams, measured on efficiency and speed.  This year, our team will not only adhere to the highest standards for safety and compliance but will be competitive in the race. We are looking to modify the body and refine the external shell, as well as make the following changes:

​

  • upgrade the drive system

  • swap in a lightweight battery

  • improve the motor controller

  • add new safety equipment

  • update the compliance features

​

Our team is building on the achievements of last year’s Mines Shell Eco-Marathon Team by refining the vehicle’s design, efficiency, and safety features. With a focus on innovation and competitiveness, we are implementing targeted upgrades to the drive system, battery, motor controller, and safety equipment to enhance both performance and compliance.

 

These improvements will help us push the boundaries of energy efficiency and speed while setting a new standard for our team’s success in this year’s race. We are excited to continue our journey and aim to achieve even greater results.

Your Support

We currently lack the funding to carry out everything on our list, so your contributions well help immensely! In addition to the changes above, our team will need to travel to Indianapolis to compete and your donations will ensure the team will be ready to race in April.

​

Thank you for being part of a world-class competition team and driving the future of transportation with vehicle electrification. You will be part of the legacy of Mines and make success possible for the next generation of engineers.

 

You are not only contributing to a team of dedicated engineers, but to innovation in electric vehicle technology.
