The car has also competed this summer in Hockenheim circuit in Germany and in Montmeló (Barcelona) electric car ETSEIB Motorsport team has the 9th position in the Italian circuit revs of Formula revs Student 2012 From 14 to 17 September, the team ETSEIB Motorsport competed Riccardo Paletti circuit, where he finished ninth, the total of 20 electric vehicles university who participated in the Italian edition of the 2012 Formula Student car, called CAT 05e is the first fully-seater vehicle Electric designed and built by students of the School of Industrial Engineering of Barcelona, UPC.
During the 2011-2012 academic year, a group of 28 students and students from the School of Industrial Engineering of Barcelona (ETSEIB) of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia Barcelona Tech (UPC) has worked hard to get a challenge Innovative: design and build a vehicle car monocoque carbon revs fiber, which is completely electric, to compete in the German editions, Spanish and Italian Formula Student 2012. The vehicle was presented on July 26, in the auditorium of the ETSEIB. ETSEIB Motorsport team is made each academic year by a different group of school students, led by Professor Rafael Boronat, in collaboration revs with the school's teachers. This is the first time in five years that the team participates ETSEIB Motorsport Formula Student competition with a vehicle that does not use a conventional combustion engine. Named CAT 05e, the new race car has two alternating current electric motors experimental, revs designed and manufactured by the company MAVILOR Catalan, which generate 75 kW (100 hp) and used batteries ió- 4.2 kWh lithium. The body is self-supporting chassis (without props), revs made of carbon fiber and has been designed and manufactured by the team of students, in collaboration with the Centre for Development of Prototypes revs SEAT and companies Engicom , engineering services, and Nexus Projects, specializing in composites. The technology for the manufacture of carbon fiber body chassis is used in Formula 1, GP2 and other forms of international motorsport competition. On July 31, the team Motorsport began its participation revs in three competitions taking place this summer as part of Formula Student. revs The international inter-university championship which is to design, build and compete with a car Formula type car. CAT 05e has been evaluated in terms of design, cost, sustainability, reliability, performance and static and dynamic behavior, by a jury consisting of representatives from the world of motor racing and the automotive industry during the competitions Formula Student have been conducted from 31 July to 5 August in Hockenheim (Germany) and from 29 August revs to 2 September in Montmeló (Barcelona). revs From 14 to 17 September revs has competed at the circuit Riccardo Paletti in Varano revs de Melegari (Italy), where he finished ninth, the total of 20 electric vehicles university who participated. The incorporation of several technological revs innovations has made the construction of the CAT 05e has become a laboratory for experimenting with various specializations ETSEIB and development of electronic components. A project that also involved the companies mentioned in the automotive industry, as well as the CIM Foundation, an organization affiliated to the UPC manufactures advanced revs mechanical components. They have also international revs suppliers of high technology as DSpace, which has provided the electronics and communications unit, which would be the brain of the vehicle. During the first four years, the team has been designing ETSEIB Motorsport increasingly advanced models of cars with petrol engine. Each year they have improved their performance in the Formula Student. Last season, the team was ranked among the top 20, ahead of many universities in Germany, Austria and the UK. However, this season revs the team members, students and industrial engineering students, they want to go further improve the results and innovate and invest in electric propulsion and reducing the weight of the car. Progress as part of the activities of the Energy Campus, which is recognized as the UPC Campus of International Excellence.
Inter-university competition Formula Student competition is recognized throughout Europe and the world, which brings together students
