Energy-efficient cars (Semar) made in Indonesia

Energy-efficient cars (Semar) made in Indonesia following the international arena Shell Eco Marathon (SEM) in 2010 which will be held in Sepang, Malaysia, July 8 to 2010.

''In a later competition cars targeted Semar Alloys made of aluminum and fiberglass body can travel about 1,000 kilometers with a liter of gasoline,''

However Semar car brought to the governor's office may only be covered 400 kilometers on one liter of gasoline and a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour. Car for about 37 kilograms of weight, total length of 2.7 meters, total height of 0.8 meters, the total width of 0.88 meters, 0.68 meter wheel base, body surface area 2.48 square meters.

''We've made the car lighter Semar again that is about 27 kilograms, more simple and comfortable and driver can be more energy efficient, which can cover the distance in 1100 miles or equivalent to the distance from Anyar to Panarukan, with only one liter of gasoline, however the requirement for the riders weight must not exceed 50 pounds.

In addition, another advantage of these vehicles is to have a very unique body, shape of the airfoil, applying the principle of 'perforated suction' to add keaerodinamisan vehicle, and using simple technology, but appropriate.

Semar's name stands apart from the Shell Eco Marathon, also from the name of one puppet character worthy, intelligent, and describes the characteristics of Indonesia.
