ENGYS Sponsors Team at University of Rostock for Shell Eco Marathon

ENGYS has entered a sponsorship agreement with the Hanseatic Efficiency team, an interdisciplinary student group from the University of Rostock, Germany. The team designs and builds prototype vehicles to compete in the Shell Eco-Marathon, a competitios dedicated to energy-efficient mobility.

As part of the collaboration, ENGYS will provide access to HELYX and HELYX-Coupled, along with technical support, to assist the team in the aerodynamic optimization of the current design development of their next-generation vehicle.

ENGYS pursued the sponsorship to support the next generation of engineers working towards efficient, sustainable automotive technologies. HELYX offers the flexibility required for early-stage aerodynamic exploration, concept refinement and validation using open-source CFD, the company reports.

The Hanseatic Efficiency team recently achieved good results at the Shell Eco-Marathon 2025, reaching 1,269.5 km per litre and securing 4th place among European combustion-engine teams.

“We are pleased to support a motivated academic team applying engineering principles to real mobility challenges,” says Thomas Schumacher, engineering director at ENGYS. “Providing students with access to flexible and reliable CFD tools is essential for developing the skills needed in tomorrow’s automotive industry.
