EUSS MotorSport

The automotive industry is one of the most attractive career paths for EUSS engineering students. To encourage students in this field, Formula Student was created—an international university competition that challenges over 800 university teams, made up of future engineers, to design, manufacture, drive, and plan the production of a Formula-style race car to compete against other institutions worldwide.

 

In 2017, a group of students from our school embraced this challenge by applying the "Engineering by Doing" philosophy, leading to the birth of the EUSS MotorSport team. Achieving this goal required the formation of a multidisciplinary team, applying practical knowledge acquired during their studies in Mechanical Engineering, Electronics, Automotive Engineering, Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency, and Industrial Organization.

 

In 2022, the team took on a major challenge: transitioning to an electric vehicle. This decision reflects a commitment to clean energy and environmental sustainability while also setting a clear objective: to develop a high-performance vehicle capable of competing at the highest level and securing future victories.

The Team

To achieve the goal of designing and manufacturing a race car, a multidisciplinary team was formed, applying the practical knowledge acquired in the various engineering specializations offered at EUSS.

The Competition

competició EUSS Motorsport

The Formula Student competition is divided into two categories based on vehicle type: combustion-powered, and electric.

 

Nowadays, the EUSS MotorSport team competes in the electric vehicle category, where the maximum possible score is 850 points. Vehicles and teams are evaluated through different tests, with points assigned accordingly:

EUSS Motorsport Summer Camp

Every July, the Formula Student team shares its experience with some future engineering students for a week. During the EUSS Motorsport Summer Camp, aspiring engineers can join the team for a few days, gaining hands-on experience and engaging in real-world projects.

 

The training program focuses on acquiring basic knowledge of SolidWorks, Arduino … Participants will also get the chance to experience what it's like to drive a race car using a professional racing simulator, and witness the manufacturing process of the new EM-04 electric vehicle.
