Body & Aerodynamics department

The vehicle chassis and the aero package of the racing car are produced in the Body department. The full monocoque made of carbon serves as the supporting element for all other components of the car. They also develop the seat, the battery case and important safety components, such as the crash box. When developing and manufacturing the aero package of the vehicle, they focus a lot on downforce and fluid simulation.

Electrics department

The Electrics department works in both the high voltage and low voltage range. The accumulator, motor controllers and converters for our new electric drive are developed here. In addition, the department is in contact with almost every component, whether it is the supply, the control or the validation. They manufacture and plan the wiring harness, take care of data acquisition and evaluation and develop PCBs and cases based on design specifications.
