Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology is the one of the most prestigious campus in Indonesia since 1957. Located in Surabaya, our campus have been known for its breakthrough in the world science and engineering. Most of our research focuses on issues concerning energy saving, primarily in the usage of fossils fuels, and also take a part of Formula Technology research in automotive industry. As solution to this particular issue, ITS Team sapuangin, a team consisting ITS finest students, was formed in 2009. Until Now, we have compete in 4 Competition and won a lot of Trophies. All of those competition are Indonesia Energy Marathon Challenge, Kontes Mobil Hemat Energi, Shell Eco-Marathon, and Student Formula Japan.
Kontes Mobil Hemat Energi (KMHE) initiated by the Ministry of Education and Culture, this competition aims to find which self-made car from students around Indonesia has the most energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and safest by testing it through several challenges. This event, which is called Indonesia Energy Marathon Challenge earlier, has two classes based on the concept of the vehicle (Prototype and Urban Concept), and each class divided into four categories (Gasoline, Diesel, Ethanol, Electric).
Shell Eco-marathon (SEM) is one of the world’s leading student engineering competitions. The program is a platform for the best high school and university students across the globe to design, build, and operate some of the most energy-efficient vehicles. There are two vehicle classes in Shell Eco-marathon, which are Prototype and Urban Concept. Teams can choose which energy categories to power their car. The options are gasoline, diesel, ethanol, battery-electric, and hydrogen fuel cell.
The Shell Eco-marathon Drivers’ World Championship (DWC) is a competition for the world’s best UrbanConcept teams that will come together in the same location competing in an exciting race to see who is the world fastest energy-efficient driver. The DWC is linked to Shell Eco-marathon because competing teams have to qualify via the official regional Shell Eco-marathon Mileage Challenges in Asia, Americas and Europe. In each region, the 12 teams selected to participate in the DWC Regional will be the best 4 teams from each energy class in the Shell Eco-marathon Mileage Challenge.
Formula SAE Japan (FSAEJ) is an annual competition held by the Society of Automotive Engineering of Japan (JSAE). This competition is intended for students at various universities on an international scale, the goal of SFJ is to improve engineering design by making a formula car and also to improve project management skills in the preparation of a Business Plan.
