The Louisiana Tech Eco-Car team is a group of highly motivated students and faculty working together to design competitive, fuel-efficient cars. The team works nearly year round engineering cutting-edge vehicles that not only challenge today's standards of gas consumption but look good while doing it.

The Louisiana Tech University has been winning titles and breaking records throughout the history of Shell Eco-marathon Americas. Our innovative fuel-efficient cars have evolved from a simple approach of using a bicycle frame into super-streamlined vehicles developed using 3D modeling and advanced manufacturing techniques.
