DTU Roadrunners
| Founded | 2004 |

DTU Roadrunners is a student driven project at the Technical University of Denmark competing in the Shell Eco-Marathon races. The team usually participates in the two classes of the European Shell Eco-Marathon: the Urban Concept class and the Prototype class with the cars Dynamo and Innovator respectively. The team has 20 to 30 members, primarily second- to fourth-year students plus tutors. Project work in the course is based on the CDIO-working form and students are thus responsible for the development, construction and operation of the vehicles.
