After ten successful years in the combustion class, the DUT Racing Team will this year focus on a fully electric Formula Student car. This first electric car has a primary focus on the end-user, the amateur weekend racer. The design focuses on the needs, demands and limitations of this particular driver. As such, the car is easy to drive due to a good feel with the throttle, brakes and tires. Also, the ergonomics and safety is taken in to account, the car is spacious and all the set-ups are easy to adjust. The beating heart of the car is formed by two electric motors and controllers from AMK Antriebe. These are fed by lithium ion polymer batteries which are placed behind the driver. With a peak power of 55 kW, a total energy of 5.7kWh and a weight of only 180 kilograms, the team will show the world that the Delft Concept also works for an electric car. Being a team of over fifty technical students from the TU Delft, the team strives to be one of the top teams in the Class 1A competition in England with their first electric car: the DUT11.
