Ahmadu Bello University,Zaria Mechanical Engineering Students developed a Turtle Eco Car recently.

   Some students of the university are expected to fly the
Turtle Eco Car  To Holland For 2015 Shell Eco Marathon Competition.The car was unveiled last weekend by Dr Mohammed Dauda,the Engineering Faculty Dean

During the unveiling,he said...

“All materials used for this car were sourced locally.Though, there are things that we did not
fabricate ourselves, you will be surprised that some of the components like the electrical, we just looked at an old computer system and then
adopted some of the components that were useful
to us.So, this is one example of what we did,which is recycling, otherwise, I will say 100 per
cent of the things we used were produced here in Zaria”.

“In addition to federal government’s automotive policy, I must say that the reason we started this (manufacturing of the car) came from Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria
Limited. The car should be one that consumes little fuel but goes long distances.This
competition is held in America, Europe and Asia and we are participating in the European one in Netherlands in May this year.”
Good job ABU!

Well done ABU..... Let's hope it is given the needed attention !!!

Baba..dat car cannot survive d road show of d shell eco competition.......welll i posted d one UNIBEN did. last year

UNIBEN, OAU and now ABU are doing all these, instead of going to show them in America and Europe, why cant we organise our own annual local show of these products before sending them out for the world to see?
