Indonesia team clinches top spot at the Regional Championship of Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024

The team from Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) team beat six others taking part in the competition using their Urban Concept vehicle which are designed to consider city driving. The winning team will be invited to visit the Ducati Motorcycle factory in Thailand and get a first-hand view behind the scenes of making these bikes and learn from professionals how innovation and motorsport go hand-in-hand.

Raihan Naufal, General Manager ITS Team Sapuangin, said, “We look forward to visiting the Ducati Motorcycle Factory and gaining new insights, ideas, and innovations that will contribute to the growth of our Team.”

The Regional Championship is a race format where teams are given a small amount of energy entirely based on their result. They have to match the proven energy efficiency of their car with strategy, skill, and speed in a race to cross the finish line first without running out of energy.

Prototype Category Winners

The best mileage in the Prototype category using internal combustion engine as an energy source was achieved by Bengawan Team UNS from Sebelas Maret University in Indonesia, at 983.3 kilometres per litre (km/l).

Other winners include Apatte Elang Energi Team 2 from Indonesia’s Brawijaya University, with a result of 521 kilometres per cubic meter (km/m³) in the hydrogen fuel cell sub-category and IMEI Team from Indonesia’s Muhammadiyah University Sidoarjo with a result of 958.2 kilometers per kilowatt hour (km/kWh) in the battery-electric sub-category.

Students taking part in the Prototype category were tasked to design ultra-efficient, lightweight designs, typically with three wheels, with the primary goal of optimising the efficiency of innovative energy sources. They then chose from one of three energy sources: battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell or internal combustion engine (gasoline, ethanol, and/or diesel).

Off-track awards

Off-track awards were also presented to acknowledge teams for their skills and achievements outside of their track performance. There are six award categories including safety, carbon footprint reduction, and the Spirit of Shell Eco-marathon award which recognises students who use their skills to contribute to the greater good of others.

Norman Koch, Global General Manager of Shell Eco-marathon, said, "It is truly impressive to see the high standards of performance and innovative ideas generated by these young thinkers, the change-makers of tomorrow. Despite facing various challenges throughout the competition, they remained resilient and achieved remarkable results in designing energy-efficient vehicles."

The annual Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024 competition, held at Mandalika International Circuit in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, saw students from across Asia and the Middle East push the boundaries of what is technically possible.

It will be hosted in Doha, Qatar next year.

All forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (available at www.shell.com/investor and www.sec.gov). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement, July 6, 2024. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement.

Shell’s net carbon intensity

Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity”, which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s net-Zero Emissions Target

Shell’s operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures

This announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure and divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.

The contents of websites referred to in this announcement do not form part of this announcement.

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this announcement that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.
