The LTU Formula Electric Team is faced with the task of designing, fabricating, assembling, and testing an all-electric formula race car.
LTU incorporated the Formula Electric Team in the fall of 2018. This is a year-long senior design project made up of mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineering students. Each student is essential to complete this project.
This project provides students a unique opportunity to gain real hands on experience, something they could not get in the classroom. This project will help the students in their internships, and future jobs. With more and more companies going to all electric vehicles, this project will help students understand how to create a high performance racing vehicle that is also fuel efficient.
Formula Hybrid™ is a design and engineering challenge for undergraduate university students. Endorsed by SAE International and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), it is unique among SAE competitions in its blend of both mechanical and electrical engineering.
Students design, build, and race an open-wheel, single seat, plug-in hybrid racecar that conforms to Formula Hybrid TM rules, which emphasize drive train innovation and fuel efficiency in high-performance applications. Formula HybridTM builds upon the Formula SAE® program and takes it to the next level by adding a new layer of complexity and an additional technical challenge.
The Formula HybridTM competition focuses on the vehicles’ performance in three tests: acceleration, autocross, and endurance. The most challenging event at the competition is endurance, which tests how fast the vehicles can complete a course with a limited amount of energy.
