A mix of part-time and full time dedicated students will design, build and test the URE12. It will be our third four wheel driven electric race car. The URE12 features a CFRP monocoque, a complete self-developed powertrain, double wishbone suspension with custom Apollo tires and a full aerodynamic package. One of the new key components of the URE12 will be a self-developed Electronic Control Unit (ECU). By making our own ECU, complexity will be reduced and reliability will be improved. This is essential for reliable control software like state of charge and torque vectoring for a four wheel driven vehicle.
