Team Details

University Racing Eindhoven (URE) was founded it 2003 and has since built 19 racecars. Aiming to educate the engineers of the future, our latest edition, the URE19, was built by a team of 85 students. The main focus this year was weight saving and performance optimization. We have designed a completely new monocoque, suspension and accumulator. Next to that, we focused on our aerodynamic package and control systems.

University Racing Eindhoven (URE) was founded in 2003 and they have competed in the EV competition since 2010 onwards. This year URE will participate with their 18th car built by a team of 82 students. The URE18 can change from EV to DV in just a few seconds, and all the driverless components are integrated in the car. This year, URE will compete in the Driverless Cup with its newly designed EBS, full aerodynamic package and custom Vredestein tires.

University Racing Eindhoven (URE) has competed in the EV competition from 2010 onward and since 2018 in the DV competition. This year, URE will participate with their 17th car built by a team of approximately 80 students. This year, the URE17 improved the ‘flip of a switch’ hybrid car concept between EV and DV, making it possible that the car converts in a couple of seconds. The URE17 will compete with its new custom inverter, a full aerodynamic package, and custom Vredestein tires.

University Racing Eindhoven's (URE) latest car, the URE14D/E, is special for Formula Student. It can compete in the EV class, with its custom URE/AE in-wheel electric motors controlled by the custom URE/Prodrive motor controller with torque vectoring, a full aerodynamic package and custom Vredestein tires. However, it also can also compete in the DV class, driving fully autonomously and switching between DV and EV mode in less than three hours. A convertible Formula Student car!

University Racing Eindhoven is the largest student project of the Eindhoven University of Technology. The 2018 competer, the URE13, features four custom URE/AE in-wheel electric motors controlled by a custom URE/Prodrive quad inverter. The power is transferred to the tarmac using custom Vredestein tires while the torque vectoring algorithm distributes torque between the wheels. Finally, the car is complemented with a lightweight aerodynamic package and one of the smallest final drives possible.

Universtiy Racing Eindhoven stands for technological innovation, teamwork and a passion for engineering. By competing in the Formula Student competition, we try to push ourselves and our cars to new limits! The URE11 is the teams seventh electric car and the second one to be equipped with four in-wheel electric motors. A special feature is the completely self-developed powertrain: the accumulator, custom quad inverter and self-developed motors get the most out of our Apollo tyres.

The stakes are high!

The URE09 is the fifth electric car of University Racing Eindhoven (URE). This year, URE decided to focus on two key points; reliability and performance. In order to improve the reliability of the URE09, the race car is equipped with sensor nodes to decrease the influence of EMI on measurement signals. Improvements in terms of performance have been made by the addition of a full aerodynamic package and the improvement of the traction control system and regenerative braking.

The URE08 is the fourth electric car of University Racing Eindhoven (URE). All 60 students work together to achieve the ambitious main goal of this year: decreasing the weight of the car by astonishing 60 kilograms. To realize this, every part of the car has been redesigned; starting with a full carbon fiber chassis as a lightweight foundation. Next to that, the Oxford YASA-750 electric motor together with a self-developed inverter, to assure enough power. Battery cells with an higher energy density are used to save even more weight. As for the suspension, the car is provided with a double wishbone suspension together with a URE-first: 10 inch wheels. As previous years, they are custom designed for our car and performance. An ECU is responsible for traction control, launch control and regenerative braking to ensure every last bit of tire performance will be used.

University Racing Eindhoven (URE) was founded in 2004 and had built 8 cars ever since. The team of 50 students from the smartest region in the world built URE’s third electric car: the URE07. The main improvement in the URE07 is an all-new powertrain, focusing on reliability and efficiency. With a single 100 kW electric motor with an in-line planetary gear set and differential, the car will prove to get the most out of the tires. Whilst the focus was on the powertrain, the development of custom tires continued. With a self developed rain tire profile, the car will prove to be competitive in rainy conditions. By close cooperation with partners, reliable components have been produced whilst reducing the overall URE07 weight significantly. Let’s race!

The URE06 is the second full electric Formula Student race car from University Racing Eindhoven. University Racing Eindhoven has focused on improving the handling of the URE06. To realize the URE06, the reliable power train from last year's car is used and the monocoque, rear frame and the multilink suspension is completely new. The new monocoque has become lighter and stiffer, as well as the rear frame. To improve the handling even more, a complete new multilink suspension system is developed. The custom designed electronic differential is set up to increase cornering speed by using torque vectoring.

The URE05e is the team's first electric Formula Student car. University Racing Eindhoven has focused on developing a reliable electric powertrain. To realize the URE05e, the chassis and suspension design of the previous year’s car have been used and the URE05e has been equipped with a completely new electric powertrain and electronics. The new powertrain consists of two independent 30kW electric motors; one for each rear wheel. This enables the use of an active electronic differential in the URE05e. This is a full student designed differential that performs torque vectoring resulting in faster cornering. To lower the weight of the URE05e University Racing Eindhoven has decided to use Lithium Polymer cells with an energy density of 133 Wh/kg.The powertrain, including the self designed battery, has been extensively tested in a special test bench. In this test bench simulation runs of the German Formula Student track have been run to increase the performance of our electric motors.
