Summary Relampinhão

Relampinhão is a student project and competitive engineering team at the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR), especially active at the Curitiba campus. The team is part of a Shell Eco-Marathon effort, where university students design and build high-efficiency prototype vehicles to compete in energy-efficient driving challenges. At Relampinhão students organize into subsystems like aerodynamics and design, powertrain, structures, electronics, and more, all working together to build a competitive car. Relampinhão isn’t just a club, it’s a practical engineering project of extension, giving students real project experience, teamwork, competition on an international stage, and making real changes to the world through sustainable innovation and efficiency-focused engineering, and since 2020, we have been learning, teaching, and moving forward to a brighter future.
