Mass Mileage Club

Welcome to UMass’ Legacy Design Team. We are excited to have the chance to share our journey with you and welcome you to support us for the 2026-2027 year. Your contribution to the team allows us to carry on tradition and innovation in the field of engineering.

Established as a class in 1995, UMass Supermileage has had a long history of competing in the SAE Supermileage Competition, a tradition that unfortunately came to a close in 2022, along with the class that started it all. The following fall, our founder, Julius Rosenthal, rallied a dedicated group of freshmen to reestablish the team. Since then, we have grown into a strong team of 40 experienced members, known as Mass Mileage. Currently, we compete in the Shell Eco-Marathon, hosted at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where we have the chance to compete against other collegiate teams to achieve the highest fuel economy. 

In 2025, thanks to hard work and your support, we accomplished a run of 414 Miles Per Gallon! It has been a long road to get there and we have even more ambitious goals ahead of us. This year we are aiming to top 1000 Miles Per Gallon, as well as beginning work on a new Battery Electric Vehicle. Both of these missions require your help. Your donations allow us to begin fabricating the new monocoque for the BE vehicle, develop the subsystems in our Internal Combustion Engine vehicle and build the Battery Electric systems up from zero. 

By sponsoring Mass Mileage, you will be supporting a team that has overcome adversity and embodies resilience and passion. You will have the opportunity to provide young engineers with a hands-on learning experience and build connections with our members as we progress in our careers.
