Team Profile
The current car is the 6th generation of the Viking cars. It has been developed by a team of 21 mechanical students and 19 electronic students. The new features on this years car includes regenerative braking along with a sophisticated traction control system in order to “tame” the 750 Nm that the motor produces. One of the major changes compared to last years car, has been to switch from Li-ion batteries to Li-Po, which has a higher energy density. This along with the regenerative braking makes it possible to reduce the total weight of the car and make it more competitive. That is also why the main objective for the Viking VI is to end up in the top 10. We are convinced that this years car is most competitive car so far, so we are very much looking forward to the competition.
