Ever wondered what the most fuel efficient vehicle out there is? Well the The Microjoule is your answer. A single-seat racer that looks like something out of Star Trek can approximately get 8,923 miles per gallon. MircoJoule’s design has been formed by students from the French Technical School, St. Joseph La Joliverie, who have entered the Shell Eco Marathon since 1985. The Eco Marathon is yearly race held at the Nogaro Motor Circuit in France. It involves over 200 teams from 25 different countries, and the idea is to simply create a vehicle that goes as far as possible with the leas amount of fuel. Naturally, the idea is that the participating vehicles produce the fewest emissions that they can possibly produce.
- The Microjoule has entered the race every single year
- Since 1992, the Microjoule has won this race every single time
- Broken the world record 6 times.
The Microjoule is a very simple design that is light, and contains no bells and whistles. They look to win once again in May 2008 in the Shell Eco Marathon.
