Perodua Eco-Challenge 2011

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

UTeM's Perodua Eco-Challenge 2011

Perodua's increasingly prominent Eco-Challenge competition has been renewed for a third installment this year, with 13 institutions selected for participation. Out of 27 private and public institutes of higher learning invited to submit proposals for this year's event, Perodua received responses from 23.

As before, participating universities have five months to prepare a car that can go the furthest distance on precisely half a litre of petrol. The difference this time, however, is that Perodua is giving only an engine and transmission rather than a whole car as they did in previous iterations. Each of the participating institutes received a unit of the 659cc EF-VE engine mated to a manual transmission.

This change in parameters has no doubt increased the overall difficulty level of the challenge, but Perodua has also resolved to help out in other ways. The development grant given to each institutes of higher learning has been raised from RM10,000 to RM17,500, and the handover period has been brought forward by a month, giving the teams that much additional time to prepare. Perodua's allocation for this programme adds up to RM1.2 million for 2011.

Currently featured in the Perodua Viva 660BX and 660EX, the three-cylinder EF-VE features 12 valves, twin camshafts, and DVVT. In the Viva, it makes 47hp @ 7,200rpm and 58Nm @ 4,400rpm. If lessons from the previous years were any indication, we expect more than a few participants to de-tune the engine way below those modest figures.

One potentially major stumbling block for the participating institutions will be the task of designing and building the car's body and framework. Although the finished product will not be pushed in a rigourous manner, there remains the need for a study framework to underpin the car. This is first and foremost a safety concern, and Perodua engineers will make their expertise available to guide the students in building a sufficiently solid chassis for the competition.

Tentatively, the race day will take place once again at the Melaka International Motorsports Circuit on 25 June 2011. Participation in this programme represents an excellent opportunity for students to hone not only their engineering skills and knowledge, but also various other soft skills such as teamwork, leadership, negotiation skills, and responsibility.

Participating institutions of higher learning for the Perodua Eco-Challenge 2011 are as follows:

- Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)
- Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL)
- Politeknik Sultan Azlan Shah (PSAS)
- Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP)
- Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)
- Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM)
- Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP)
- Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN)
- Universiti Industri Selangor (UNISEL)
- Politeknik Ungku Omar (PUO)
- Politeknik Port Dickson (POLIPD)
- Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)
- Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM)

This year, UTeM are participate in this event with a team named UTeM Eco-Tech and will compete against other institutions of higher learning. Go UTeM, best of luck!

 

Made in Gaza: Formula 1-style car

Saturday, June 18, 2011

In the world of motorsport, it is usually all about big engines and big money.

But a group of students from United Nations Relief and Works Agency's (UNRWA) Khan Younis Training Center (KYTC) in Gaza has created a Formula 1-style racing car from scratch, out of recycled parts.

Because of the Israeli blockade on Gaza, most of the parts for the car had to be manufactured at the centre's workshop.

Proof that a little improvisation can go a long way - they have been invited to compete at this year's prestigious Formula Student competition, organised by the Institution for Mechanical Engineers.

Al Jazeera's Nadim Baba has more on Gaza's first ever racing car.
