Team Profile
University Racing Eindhoven (URE) was founded in 2004 and had built 8 cars ever since. The team of 50 students from the smartest region in the world built URE’s third electric car: the URE07. At the beginning of the year three goals were set. The first goal was to build an all-new powertrain, focusing on reliability and efficiency. The second goal was to have a high level of finish, including a special paintjob. The third goal was to finish early to provide lots of testing time. Whilst the focus was on the powertrain, the development of custom tires continued. As it always seem to rain in the UK, it was time for the next step in tire development: custom profile rain tires. By close cooperation with partners, reliable components have been produced whilst reducing the overall URE07 weight significantly. For more information see www.universityracing.nl. Let’s race!
The URE07 BMS and inverter are self-developed.
As the BMS designer says: “It’s not a mess, it’s a BMS!”. The BMS features active balancing. The inverter has the highest power to weight ratio.
The URE07 has a special paint job featuring orange chrome, matte black and a fluor yellow pinstripe to contrast both.
