Team Profile
Durham University Electric Motorsport (DUEM) design, build, and race electric racing cars. DUEM are also designing a Solar Car to race in the World Solar Challenge in Autumn 2015. DUEM was formed by the merger of the Durham Formula Student & Solar Car teams, separate until 2012.
More than 30 undergraduate and post-grad students are involved in the team, with specialities in Vehicle Dynamics, Electronics, Aerodynamics, all working to design a green, efficient electric racer.
Members of the team meet at least twice a week, putting in hundreds of hours to design, develop & build DUEM’s superb cars. The team is mostly funded by sponsorship with a dedicated Business, PR & Marketing team working hard to ensure we attract the funding necessary to bring the cars from our imagination to the race track. DUEM would like to thank all of their sponsors for their continued commitment.
