Baldos is the name of a car that is being developed and manufactured by students at Luleå University of Technology, LTU.

Students at LTU has once again accepted the challenge to build a vehicle that is as fuel efficient as possible, as an entry for Shell Eco Marathon 2009.

Baldos 2008 did not only win the Urban Concept class by driving furthest on one litre of gasoline, but also the Combustion Engine prize, Climate-friendly Grand prize (least CO2 emissions), Alternative Gasoline Award, and last but not least the BOSCH Technical Innovation Award. While we are very pleased with last years result, we strive to perform even better this year. For more information on Baldos 2008, please visit http://08.baldos.se.

The purpose of this project is to encourage innovation in the area of transport and propellant and thus explore new solutions on future cars with respect to the environment.

The race will take place in eastern Germany on the Eurospeedway Lausitz track, May 7-9 2009.
