Formula Electric Belgium is a team of 37 engineering students from two different schools, KU Leuven and Thomas More in Mechelen, making it a multi-regional and multidisciplinary team.
Formula Electric Belgium focuses on optimization and reliability. A 3D printed battery case reduces weight and improves ease of assembly of the battery pack, while an optimized aerodynamic package generates more down force. Reliability is achieved through self-designed motors, a new ECU with upgraded software and a well fitted cable loom. This is the first year a single piece carbon fibre monocoque was produced by the team.
