Semar team from UGM Back Follow the fuel-saving race at Sepang Malaysia.

 Semar team Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) re-enter the competition energy efficient vehicles Shell eco-marathon Asia 2013. This year the competition was held at the Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia on July 4 to 7 2013.
In this competition Semar UGM team will follow two categories namely the Urban Concept category and diesel fuel with category Car Prototype Gasoline fuel. Number of team members as much as 14 students and one supervisor is Dr. Jayan Sentanuhady.
"Both cars are designed and developed with a monocoque body construction that uses a carbon fiber composite material," said Jayan when saying farewell to Rector Prof. Dr. Pratikno at GMU Center in Bulaksumur office, Monday (06/03/2013).
He said the materials will lighten and improve precision. Almost all components are made of aluminum and processed by CNC machines. Component was also developed with a modular system to facilitate replacement or repair components.
Chairman Semar UGM Team Manager, General Prasetya Semar also add cars using PSS technology (Pedal Steering System), which control the car but no longer use the hand using a foot pedal.
This is to improve ergonomics as broad view, the position of the rider's body and akseabilitas out a better rider in a very narrow space vehicles.
According to the Court, this car also uses primary mover gasoline fuel capacity of 80 cc and a high compression ratio with the SEC design code 1 (Semar Engine Concept - First Generation). SEC 1 engine with sequential techniques namely two double spark plugs popped in sequence.
"With this technique combustion in the cylinder becomes more perfect so that the fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly," he said.
Further car while Semar Urban Supreme, using the diesel engine capacity of 220 cc are adopting technology called Near Adiabatic Diesel Engine (Nade). The system uses a high compression ratio and cylinder insulation system for increased thermal efficienc
