The Polytechnic University of the Philippines received the 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 from the Department of Energy during the Philippine Energy Awards on October 7, 2026.

The award recognizes 𝗣𝗨𝗣 𝗪𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱’𝘀 𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗟𝗔𝗞 𝟮, an autonomous battery-electric vehicle that represented PUP at the Shell Eco-marathon Europe 2026 in Poland. Competing internationally, the team placed 8th overall and was the only Asian country representative in the competition.

Congratulations to PUP Wired and everyone who made this achievement possible!
