Team Profile
The Delft University of Technology (DUT) Racing Team consists of sixty students from different faculties of the TU Delft, in the Netherlands. The team is unique in its systematic approach in design and project management. Nine full-time managers, together with fifty-one part-timers, dedicate their whole year on designing and building the second generation electric car, by Delft. The end product is the DUT12.
The DUT12 is the first four wheel driven car ever made by the DUT Racing Team. After the success of the DUT11 in last year’s alternative fuel competition it is now time to show the world the true majestic of electrical drive. The team started thinking about how the ultimate electric car should look like and found their ways in the focus on lightweight in combination with one motor per wheel. This will take care of an optimal dynamic performance and maximum regenerative braking capabilities, resulting in a fast and more energy efficient car. This is in our opinion the best fulfilment of the Delft Concept: Lightweight, efficient and fast!
The DUT Racing Team is sponsored by AMK, DNV KEMA, NLR, Volkswagen, SKF and many more, supporting their passion for engineering design.
Did you know the accumulator of the DUT12 consists of 1701 parts? Every part is listed and has been weighed.
The DUT12 team developed their motors together with AMK. A single motor has a weight of 4 kilograms and a peak power of 28 Kilowatts (38hp)
