PROMETHEUS ECO RACING NTUA

Last year we reached new heights, this year we aim the top!

Prometheus Eco Racing was established in 2008 at the National Technical University of Athens as a student initiative focused on energy-efficient mobility. The team brings together students from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering who design, develop, and manufacture electric vehicles for international competitions. What defines the team is not only participation, but full in-house development — from concept to final assembly — allowing members to gain real engineering experience beyond the classroom.

The team competes annually in the Shell Eco-marathon, representing NTUA among leading universities from across Europe and beyond. Over the years, Prometheus Eco Racing has built a strong competitive presence, with the 2025 season standing out as its most accomplished year. During that season, the team secured four major distinctions, including the Technical Innovation Award and the Data & Telemetry Award, confirming both its engineering capability and its ability to execute complex projects under competition conditions.

For the upcoming season, the team is developing a new Urban Concept Battery Electric Vehicle with the objective of achieving even higher efficiency and overall performance. Every subsystem of the vehicle is designed, manufactured, assembled, and tested by team members. This hands-on approach ensures continuous technical growth while maintaining full control over design decisions and system integration.

A central aspect of the project is the manufacturing of custom components required for the vehicle’s development. This includes the fabrication of custom printed circuit boards (PCBs) used across electrical subsystems, as well as precision-machined aluminum parts that serve critical mechanical and structural functions. Access to reliable PCB production and high-accuracy aluminum machining is essential for meeting performance targets and maintaining strict competition timelines.

As a student-led team operating within limited financial resources, sourcing high-quality manufacturing services remains one of our primary challenges. Support in PCB fabrication and custom aluminum part production would significantly strengthen our development process, reduce iteration time, and allow more members to engage directly in advanced design work.

Through such collaboration, we aim not only to improve our competitive results but also to continue building a strong engineering environment where students gain practical experience in real-world design, manufacturing, and system integration.
