THE UST Eco Tigers finished fifth overall in both the urban and prototype categories at the conclusion of the 2016 Shell Eco Marathon-Asia last March 4 at the Quirino Grandstand.

The UST Eco Tigers’ “T400D” and “T400E,” the prototype and urban concept entries of the team, recorded fuel consumption of 69 kilometers per liter (km/L) and 54 km/L respectively.

UST was the only university from the Philippines that made the cut for the alternative fuel urban concept category. The Eco Tigers weren’t given the chance to parade their entry for the urban concept category last year after failing to pass technical inspection.
