Overview
The Urban Concept car is the Poseidon Team's entry in the Shell Eco-Marathon — a competition that rewards squeezing the most distance out of the least energy. The vehicle is built around a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain, where efficiency is won or lost in the electrical and control systems just as much as in the mechanics.
I lead the project as Electrical & Electronics Manager, overseeing the powertrain and the low-voltage electronics systems — from the fuel-cell power path to the control and monitoring electronics — and driving the design decisions that improve the vehicle's overall efficiency and reliability.
Highlights
- Hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain designed and tuned for maximum energy efficiency.
- Low-voltage electronics for control, monitoring, and safety of the vehicle.
- Lead the electrical & electronics effort and coordinate the system design.
- Built to compete in the Shell Eco-Marathon energy-efficiency competition.
