year,
UiTM’s
Faculty
of
Electrical
Engineering,
under
the
Eco-Sprint
team,
emerged
as
champions
by

category,
further
solidifying
UiTM’s
reputation
for
excellence
in
green
innovation
on
an
international
stage.
Ten years later, in 2024, the research collaboration has come full circle. Led by senior lecturer Ts. Dr. Mohamad Farid Misnan, postgraduate student Syed Mohd Harussani and UiTM research team, with over a decade of experience in the Shell Eco-Marathon (SEM), is embarking on an exciting new chapter. The team’s latest innovation in fuel cell technology, an urban concept electric vehicle named the UITM-CDC H2 Truck, is set to redefine efficiency and sustainability in the Urban Concept category at SEM 2025, scheduled to take place from February 8–12 in Doha, Qatar. With this renewed partnership, CDC is proud to support UiTM in innovating research the UITM-CDC H2 Truck and showcasing their expertise on the global stage at SEM 2025.
According to Ts.
