Doha, Qatar: University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) has announced that its Wolves Racing Team secured second place in the Autonomous Urban Concept category at the prestigious Shell Eco-Marathon Europe and Africa 2025 regional competition, held in Poland. The event featured 120 student teams from 25 countries across Europe and Africa.

The student-built autonomous electric vehicle, fully designed and developed in-house at UDST’s campus, reflects the University’s advanced applied learning model, and showcases the students’ exceptional technical expertise in engineering, automation, and sustainable mobility.

The vehicle successfully met and passed stringent European autonomous driving regulations, highlighting a significant milestone that demonstrates the technical sophistication and reliability of the design.

Notably, this year marked the Wolves Racing Team’s debut participation in the autonomous vehicle category, competing as the sole non-European team among a highly competitive field of global universities within this category.

The organising and judging teams of this competition expressed their admiration and appreciation for the technology used as well as the technological competitiveness demonstrated by the university students during their participation in this type of competition, especially in designing and building the car in record time.
