Abstract

This study analyzes scientific basis of fuel-saving racing vehicles. Every year, Honda corporation organizes an Asian competition with the purpose of choosing a model of the most efficiency. Students representing Asian countries take part in this competition. Haui Super Cub's of Hanoi University of Industry has been highly appreciated in 2020 competition. The vehicle consumes 1352 km/liter.

Research method includes: Using drag coefficient CD to analyze the affect of the air drag force LD to the fuel consumption SG and, analyzing the affect of the composite material to vehicle mass.

The results of this research will be used to improve the car’s designing and building in following competitions.
