In 2014, Aguila Auto Glass® and Mapúa University forged a meaningful partnership anchored by a common goal for a more sustainable and efficient future for Philippine motoring. This collaboration has taken shape most prominently in the university’s continued and outstanding participation in the Shell Eco-marathon – a globally recognized competition that challenges student teams to design, build, and drive the most energy-efficient vehicles possible.
What began as a sponsorship evolved into a true collaboration between two institutions that believe in progress through purpose. Aguila Auto Glass has proudly supported the team’s milestones, not just by providing resources for their vehicles, but by standing behind their mission to inspire a new generation of environmentally conscious, solutions-driven Filipino engineers.
From local competitions at Luneta Park and Clark International Speedway with their original “Aguila” prototype, to regional contests across Asia with the “Aguila Neo V”, the Aguila name has become a symbol of what’s possible when education, innovation, and corporate responsibility work together. And behind the name is a shared commitment: to advance clean energy solutions, promote sustainability in mobility, and build a brighter, greener future for the Filipino.
As both Aguila Auto Glass and Mapúa University continue their respective journeys, their partnership remains a powerful example of how industry and education can come together to push the boundaries of what’s possible – one kilometer, one invention, one student at a time.
