Today we drove the first metres of our World Record Attempt! Those were also our first metres on the public road and the route of the Elfstedentocht. Before driving off, we had a large event in Leeuwarden where we showed our exhibition, gave out some “Koek & Zopie”, and listened to motivating talks of deputy Matthijs de Vries of Provincie Fryslân and Erwin Jongh of Toyota Nederland. After some last preparations, we finally drove off after a year of hard work, which was an emotional moment and a big reward for our team. In the next few days, we are focusing on driving many laps of the Elfstedentocht and are hunting for the world record!

#AccelerateTheFuture Promoting a sustainable future by building the world’s most efficient hydrogen powered city car.
Over ons
Eco-Runner Team Delft is a non-profit, multidisciplinary student project at Delft University of Technology, that focuses on developing the world’s most efficient hydrogen-powered city car. Every year, a new car is produced to push the boundaries of vehicle efficiency. Our team has proven to be successful in the past, winning the Shell Eco Marathon in 2008, 2015, 2022 and having multiple podium wins in almost all years that we participated in. In 2023, we became Guinness World Record holders by driving an astonishing distance of 2488.5 kilometers on less than 1 kilogram of hydrogen! Our current goal is to create a street-legal vehicle, which means that our car is able to drive on the public road. With this car, we aim to set a World Record for the furthest distance driven with a hydrogen-powered vehicle without refueling, on the public road. With this goal in mind, we continue to #AccelerateTheFuture

Eco-Runner's First Visit of the Year! Last Friday, we had the honor of welcoming the College010 of Rotterdam, including Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb, to the TU Delft | Dream Hall. We demonstrated how our team is at the forefront of innovation within the mobility sector, offering a sneak peak of our ambitious plans for the coming year. ⚡ Our mission is clear: to push the boundaries of sustainable mobility and to inspire others to join us on this journey. The enthusiasm and engagement from these city leaders were truly motivating, reinforcing our commitment to continue driving progress. 👏 Behind the scenes, we are already diligently preparing for the next steps. Stay tuned—there is much more to come very soon! 🌱

WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT 2024 FINISHED! Our tank is empty, which means our World Record Attempt has come to an end! We have driven 1273 kilometres on less than 1.45 kilograms of hydrogen, which comes down to 6 full rounds of the Elfstedentocht. With this, we have come extremely close to the world record of Toyota, set at 1360 kilometres. Even though we weren't able to break the record, we are still very proud that we are the first student team to build a street legal hydrogen powered car and drive this astonishing distance on the public road. An amazing experience, and all the support we had along the way was unforgettable! Want to see the World Record Attempt through our eyes? Stay tuned for some of our blogs and vlogs! #EcoRunner #EcoRunnerTeamDelft #hydrogen #h2 #energytransition #sustainability #greenmobility #streetlegal #worldrecord #worldrecordattempt #efficiency #Friesland #Elfstedentocht #Leeuwarden #greenenergy #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #futuremobility #citymobility #urbanisation

We are now holders of a Missie H2 hydrogen medal! During our start event in Leeuwarden, where we celebrated the start of our world record attempt, Erwin Jongh from Toyota Nederland gave a talk about the importance of (our) collaboration. During his talk, Erwin challenged us to beat the current world record of Toyota for driving 1360 km on one tank of hydrogen on the public road, which they set with their Toyota Mirai. However, we did not know that Erwin had another surprise in store for us. He made our day even better by handing us one of the MissieH2 hydrogen medals. This medal is handed out to the frontrunners in the hydrogen industry. As only a total of 20 medals are handed out, combined with the fact that this award had only been given to individuals, we were really surprised to receive one as a team! This made us even more motivated to prove that our car is able to drive a world record on the public road and to make an impact on the industry. Currently, we are working really hard to realise this goal! Our team Eco XIV received this medal, but we couldn’t do this without the knowledge and foundation of all the previous Eco-Runner teams. Therefore we want to mention that this medal is a combined effort of all our team members and alumni! For more information on why we received the medal, check out this link: https://lnkd.in/eyEkage9 #EcoRunner #EcoRunnerTeamDelft #hydrogen #h2 #missieh2 #hydrogenmedal #energytransition #sustainability #greenmobility #streetlegal #worldrecord #worldrecordattempt #efficiency #Friesland #Elfstedentocht #Leeuwarden #greenenergy #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #futuremobility #citymobility #urbanisation

Next week Monday, June 17th, we will officially start our World Record Attempt! After a month of intensive testing, the Eco-Runner XIV is now officially street-legal, which means we can attempt to set a world record on the public road! Our goal is to drive 2056 kilometres on a single tank (1.45kg) of hydrogen. This will take place in Friesland, on the route of the famous Elfstedentocht. We will be driving for multiple days through all the eleven cities of Friesland. The World Record Attempt will start with an event on the Oldehoofsterkerkhof in Leeuwarden on June 17th at 13:00. At this event, we will show our exposition one last time, offer traditional snacks and drinks, and give a few speeches. At around 15:30, the starting signal will be given and we will officially attempt to set a world record! Of course, everyone is invited to come take a look at this special moment, the true highlight of our year. If you can’t make it, we will keep you updated through our socials and a dedicated ‘world record attempt’ page on our website. This page will be updated while we are driving our world record attempt, showcasing our live location at all times: https://lnkd.in/e2tvxwJ5 We can’t wait to drive a world record, hope you come along for the ride! #EcoRunner #EcoRunnerTeamDelft #hydrogen #h2 #energytransition #greenmobility #streetlegal #worldrecord #worldrecordattempt #efficiency #Friesland #Elfstedentocht #Leeuwarden #greenenergy #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #futuremobility #citymobility #urbanisation

During our Car Reveal last week, we showed the first metres of the Eco-Runner XIV! In this video, some new features of Eco-Runner are highlighted, such as side mirrors, complete lighting, and being able to fill up at the hydrogen refueling station. After a successful start, we hope to drive many more kilometres in June. Now sit back and take a look into the future of mobility! #EcoRunner #EcoRunnerTeamDelft #hydrogen #h2 #energytransition #greenmobility #streetlegal #worldrecord #efficiency #Friesland #Elfstedentocht #greenenergy #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #futuremobility #citymobility #urbanization

Waterstofpodcast alert! 🎧🎶 A new episode of our podcast just dropped! With this week’s worldwide focus on hydrogen at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, we delve into the latest hype in the hydrogen world, white hydrogen. Although we have known about it for years, recent major discoveries of white hydrogen have raised the question: can white hydrogen play a role in the energy transition? In this podcast, we discuss with Rene Peters from TNO what white hydrogen exactly is, how we could extract it, and whether it has the potential to play a role in the path towards a sustainable future! So, are you curious about white hydrogen? Don’t wait any longer and start the episode!
