Varanasi: Team AVERERA, an auto-mobile research team from IIT (BHU), has brought laurels to the institute with its victory in Shell Eco-Marathon 2021. Team AVERERA took first place in the Shell Eco-Marathon Global League 2021 season among 235 teams from 50 countries around the world and received prize money. US$8,250.
Director Prof Pramod Kumar Jain congratulated the team for their success and making the country proud. Dr Amitesh Kumar, Team Mentor and Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, said, “The Shell Eco-Marathon is an annual event to test student teams in research, development, creativity and technical skills through various competitions.”
On the marathon, he said, Shell organizes various competitions throughout the year under the Global League. Team AVERERA also took first place in virtual technical inspection, proving that its urban-concept vehicle is compliant with automotive industry standards. In addition, the team’s phenomenal performance in the Autonomous Programming Competition and virtual off-track awards for vehicle design, engineering simulation practices and driver safety helped the team reach first global position in the virtual league table.
Dr Kumar said the vehicle developed by the team is highly aerodynamic, ergonomic and efficient with a carbon fiber body, which makes it extremely light with a high strength-to-weight ratio to guarantee the safety of the driver. The team incorporated efficient construction of their vehicle, motor and battery simulations to reduce the vehicle’s weight and increase its range. As India battles the Covid-19 pandemic, it has also stalled the progress of the team. Despite these efforts, the team restructured its work to achieve maximum efficiency remotely and developed the urban-concept vehicle Shivaay 1.0 with the utmost precision.
The team members include Himanshu Sahu, Snehal, Shubham Yadav, Abhay Agarwal, Shashank Kumar, Rishabh Singh, Sweekar Banthia, Tejas Chavan, Shashank Madeshia, Sushruta Mirzapure, Rohan Nemade and Vikas.
