TU Delft student team unveils Eco-Runner XVI city car with multi-fuel sustainable capability
By
Team IO+
Half-baked but well-meaning. A passing snack.
Summary
The Eco-Runner student team at Delft University of Technology unveiled the Eco-Runner XVI, a compact city car concept designed to run on multiple sustainable fuels — a concept called "fuel flexibility." The vehicle was presented at the Koninklijke Schouwburg in The Hague on 27 May. This marks a strategic shift for the team, which previously focused exclusively on hydrogen-powered vehicles and set a Guinness World Record in 2023 by traveling 2,488 kilometers on less than one kilogram of hydrogen.
