Every team starts out with the same B&S Junior 206 engine with freedom to modify the it within the SAE rules and regulations.

UMass SMV revolves around teamwork. From developing the body and engines to cleaning the shop, we work together to obtain the best results. We’re lucky to have such a great group this year!

As we are excited to start a new year for 2017’s Supermileage Competition, here are a few photos from the 2016 competition. In 2016, we achieved 463 mpg. This year, we plan to make major improvements to the vehicle in hopes to achieve our goal of 1500 mpg!

Team members Nam and Shue work on the mold for the 2016 vehicle’s carbon fiber nose cone.

We recently took delivery of our new Briggs and Stratton Junior 206 Racing Engine.  We have begun the breaking in cycle of this engine, and are looking for ways to implement it on this year’s vehicle or future models based upon performance statistics.
