Lebih dari 60 tim lolos inspeksi teknis di Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pacific and the Middle East 2024
Jul 04, 2024
Mandalika, Lombok - Lebih dari 60 tim telah lulus proses inspeksi teknis yang ketat untuk bersaing di sirkuit dalam kompetisi Shell Eco-marathon Asia-Pasifik dan Timur Tengah 2024, program berskala regional yang diadakan di Indonesia.
Selama inspeksi teknis, tim harus memenuhi serangkaian pemeriksaan, termasuk keselamatan, untuk memenuhi syarat dalam kompetisi di lintasan.
Tim yang lolos inspeksi teknis akan bertanding dalam dua kategori, Prototype dan Urban Concept, untuk menentukan tim mana yang mampu menempuh jarak terjauh dengan bahan bakar paling hemat. Kedua kategori tersebut resmi dimulai pada hari Kamis.
Tujuh puluh delapan tim mendaftar untuk berpartisipasi tahun ini, bersaing untuk membangun dan merancang kendaraan yang paling hemat energi. Diselenggarakan di Sirkuit Internasional Mandalika di Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat, mulai 3 hingga 6 Juli dan Indonesia kembali menjadi tuan rumah selama tiga tahun terakhir.
Kategori Urban Concept
LH-EV Fuel Cell dari Universitas Lac Hong adalah tim pertama dari Vietnam yang berpartisipasi dalam kategori Urban Concept dengan sumber energi hidrogen sejak negara tersebut bergabung di kompetisi regional pada tahun 2011. Tim ini lolos inspeksi teknis pada hari Kamis.
Manajer tim Truong Quoc Khanh mengatakan, “Mahasiswa dari Universitas Lac Hong memiliki minat untuk merancang dan memproduksi mobil yang hemat bahan bakar. Kami melihat hidrogen sebagai bahan bakar masa depan karena lebih ramah lingkungan, memiliki banyak kegunaan, dan lebih efisien sebagai sumber energi, tetapi masih banyak tantangan di Vietnam dalam hal teknologi, produksi, penyimpanan, dan transportasinya. Itulah mengapa kami memilih kategori ini tahun ini, untuk mendorong diri kami lebih jauh.”
Kategori Urban Concept ini merupakan kategori kendaraan yang paling menyerupai mobil penumpang secara visual dengan menggunakan empat roda dan didesain dengan spesifikasi layak jalan. Tim-tim yang mengikuti kategori ini ditantang untuk mengupayakan optimalisasi energi pada mobil yang juga memenuhi kebutuhan manusia, seperti kenyamanan pengemudi. Setelah itu, peserta akan menggunakan salah satu dari tiga jenis bahan bakar; yakni baterai listrik, sel bahan bakar hidrogen, dan pembakaran internal atau internal combustion (bensin, etanol, dan/atau diesel).
Kategori Prototype
Kategori Prototype berfokus untuk menciptakan desain kendaraan masa depan (futuristik) dimana tim yang mengikuti kompetisi pada kategori ini menciptakan kendaraan roda tiga yang ringan dan ultra-efisien yang bertujuan untuk memaksimalkan efisiensi sumber energi yang inovatif.
Arafa Maulana Abdillah, sebagai Manager Tim Nakoela yang berkompetisi dalam kategori Prototype, menjelaskan, "Kami berhasil menciptakan desain kendaraan futuristik yang sesuai dengan pedoman teknis, yang sangat menantang bagi kami. Kami merancang kendaraan Prototype menggunakan sumber energi bensin, serta mengandalkan desain badan mobil yang sangat aerodinamis, memiliki sistem propulsi, serta kelistrikan yang efisien sehingga menghasilkan angka kehematan yang tinggi."

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.
