University of Strathclyde Eco Vehicle

We are the University of Strathclyde Eco-Vehicle team! We have high hopes of being able to get back on track in 2021!

After acheiving the highest efficiency in the UK in the Shell Eco-Marathon 2019 Battery-Electric category, the competition was sadly cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19.

Letโ€™s take a look at USEVโ€™s Track Day 2022! We held a track day sponsored by Arnold Clark that took place on the 18th of November 2022 at the Arnold Innovation Centre. This was a great opportunity to test out the car in preparation for the upcoming Shell Eco Marathon this year. We had a chance to test assembly, brakes, steering, and our electronic systems. It gave us a great insight into what to improve for the competition later this year.

What is USEV?

We are the University of Strathclyde Eco-Vehicle team and we design fuel-efficient vehicles. Currently, we are competing in the Shell Eco-Marathon with our cars, this is our 3rd year as a society at Strathclyde and we are aiming to take part in the 2018/19 Eco-Marathon with our upcoming vehicle, Clyde 3.0

This year we attended the 2017/18 Eco-Marathon, where we got through technical inspection and onto the track, unfortunately, we didnโ€™t manage the necessary number of laps with our car, but we did get a fuel-efficiency of 2700MPGe (130Km/kWh).

Weโ€™re located in the James Weir Building at Strathclyde, where you can come to see our vehicle and chat to the team!
