Team Profile
Our team is comprised of multiple year students. We have focused on including a lot of first and second year students to our team to bring up the numbers of continuing members in the following years, expanding to over 50 members.
As a third year electric team this year, we have focused on setting new standards of the UK electric cars by venturing into independent drive for our electric powertrain! This has been achieved with a programme of rolling development started last year where we had a leap forward significant enough for us to apply this advanced technology to the car.
We have also received growing support from our previous and new sponsors who have given us the possibility to develop such high level powertrains. Frost EV Parts have massively helped with supplying top quality HV connectors and components, Enstroj has awarded us with a great discount on their electric motors, Zortrax have supplied us with our very own 3D printer, RS Components have generously supplied us with LV electrical parts, and many more sponsors who has shown great support.
