A team of about 15 students from Laval University (Quebec City) designed an extremely fuel-efficient vehicle that covered a surreal 1,524.7 kilometres with a single litre of gas during the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas in Houston, Texas.
The feat earned them first place in the Prototype/Gas engine category, well ahead of the second-place team (981.2km/L). The previous North American record of 1,347km/L was also set by Laval University in 2008.
Next up is the SAE Supermileage competition in Michigan this June. Will we witness another record-breaking performance?
