Pac-car II

Pac-Car II was developed as a student project at ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology).

Based on a group of students and an experienced team leader, the goal was to build a vehicle that uses as little fuel as possible.

By using hydrogen fuel-cell, developed at ETH/PSI (Paul Scherrer Institute), as power source, pure water is the car's only emission.

In 2005 on June 26, the PAC-Car II set a new world record[1] in fuel-economy of 5385 km/L gasoline equivalence during the Shell Eco-Marathon in Ladoux, France.

During its third race over 20.6 km the car consumed approximately 1 g of Hydrogen driving at an average speed of 30 km/h (roughly 18.6 mph).
