Shell Eco-marathon is a competition in the Americas, Europe, and Asia for high school and college students to develop efficient vehicles. 

Kettering University's team, Electric Bulldog, is a group of passionate, enthusiastic A-Section and B-Section undergraduate and graduate students who are members of the Greener Engineering Organization. Our vehicle will be in the Battery-electric Prototype category, attempting to build the most efficient car possible using the least amount of battery power to travel maximum distance.
