videos | at work | information | view | construction
How did Université Laval win the 2014 Shell Eco-marathon Americas? Attention to detail in all the parts of a vehicle that consume energy. Low rolling resistance, extremely low drag, and a highly efficient engine. Though they had previously hit numbers in the 3,500 mile per gallon range, Université Laval still managed to take home the win this year achieving 2,824 miles per gallon with their eco car.

I wish you had the guy speak in his first language, judging by his accent I would hazard to guess French, then translated it.

A good job but what could you do for 77 LTD or chev 350 engine in a full size car. Honda had 2 seat car geting 70 mpg years a go. keep up the good work some day they may use your system in racing.or on the road but to day this is only high tech toy
If you could get 50 MPG on the high way in those cars you would have done it the chev vega or ford pinto with the carb system did all right on the road but still had a long way to go and with all the high tech and light weight cars is the MPG all that good.
Keep up the good work who knows you make the next engine that gets 100 MPG
on the High way when you get out of school or drop out and do it. after all more than
one person has left the path and blazed a trail in the world. -
Straight from Québec Province, really proud !

i wonder how efficient the motor is. 3500 mpg is extremely impressive for 89 lb car. but honestly its one thing to make a car lighter, smaller, and more aerodynamic, and drive at 20mph, but the real challenge is making the motor more effiecient. is the motor even at least as efficient as any other? we need to invent an engine that has zero nox and carbon monoxide

Whoa! 2824 miles per gallon? unbelievable. wait a minute 2015 version that gets 6837 miles per gallon? that's outrageous. what, you're almost finished with the 2017 prototype that gets 18,602 miles per gallon? That is off the charts . Wait, now GM is getting in on the action. in 2018 they plan to present a car that gets 60 miles to the gallon. I see now. every year the miraculous engineers a thousand more miles per gallon, then after that 10,000 more miles per gallon to their experimental prototype, the public only gets 2 miles per gallon more every year. what a bunch of BS. this video's sucks.

2:18 I love his expression / reaction when being asked about the mechanical aspects of the vehicle.
-
I like EE a lot but what's up with the way Jason is interviewing this guy? Little to no eye contact with the camera nor the dude being interviewed, and he just keeps saying "okay." "okay." "okay...." maybe he has a little anxiety or something idk
-
wow pretty amazing
-
at 1:03 you asked abou the size displacement, and he replies 39cc.. think you could make a vid explaining the CC, thats something i've never understood, starting back with Super MarioKart... pls
-
Québec city fuck yeah!
-
Whats the point in having a 1.9 horse power car when you can have a horse and its more fuel efficient where is peoples logic these days ?
-
I think it would be a little more practical if it could go 60 mph+ even if you would have to put like 85cc motor,it would still get at least 200mpg probably
-
I understand that he was nervous and struggling with his answers since they were trying to solve a problem with the car during the competition and he was not speaking in his native language. To help with the comprehension, you did repeat or rephrase some of his answers and it helped alot and make the video more interesting..
-
Bel accent hehe
-
I wonder what these cars could average in the real world in city driving.
-
Is there a reason you're doing these interviews? Were you hired or is this just done for you? Thanks, great videos :-)
-
