Two Malaysians will represent their country at Asia’s inaugural Smartest FuelSaver Challenge, Mr Jason Lai Tsuen Yung, a consulting analyst from Johor and Ms Josephine Lee Siok Kin, a bank clerk from Sarawak have both beaten stiff competition from across Malaysia to be crowned the country’s smartest FuelSavers. The pair will now compete head on with other Asian drivers at the inaugural Shell Eco-marathon Asia at the Sepang International Circuit on 8th and 9th July, to vie for the title of Asia’s Smartest FuelSaver and winning a new fuel efficient car. The Asia’s Smartest Fuelsaver Challenge is one of many initiatives undertaken by Shell as part of its ongoing commitment to educate motoring communities around Asia to be more fuel efficient and savvy.
To prepare for the challenge, Lai and Lee will be guided through a Shell FuelSave Academy featuring intensive theoretical and practical training by a host of international fuel efficiency experts including Fuel Economy Guinness World Record holders, John and Helen Taylor. The programme will allow them to learn more about how to save fuel and inspire other Malaysian drivers to do the same. Concurrently, the Asia’s Smartest Driver Challenge will be held during the Shell Eco-marathon Asia and follows an identical competition held in Europe that was won by Gunther Grossler, a driving instructor from Germany who drove 22.75km on a single litre of fuel.
