Brakes and Wheels

This department engineers braking system that decelerates vehicle safely and efficiently. • This entails meticulous design and improvement of braking components to guarantee reduced friction, optimal stability and minimize stopping distances, consequently contributing to enhanced efficiency and superior on-track safety. The wheels department is responsible for seamless integration of wheels with vehicle systems by ensuring reduced rolling resistance, maneuverability and overall safety. By actively researching and applying tire mechanics principles, the department optimizes tire selection and configuration for maximizing traction and efficiency. Adherence to the rules and standards set by the Shell Eco-Marathon guarantees technical inspection clearance and competition eligibility.
