Team Details

We are HorsePower Hannover from Leibniz Universität Hannover! Our electric racecar combines four-wheel hub drives with advanced aerodynamics and a lightweight monocoque. With a strong team spirit and precise engineering, we’re ready to tackle any challenge on the track and inspire the future of electric racing!

HorsePower Hannover was founded in 2007 and first competed as a combustion team in 2009. The first electric car was build in 2011, the electricHorse11. This season, we build our 13th electric vehicle, the eH24, with an AWD concept with four individual wheel hub drives, CFRP aluminium sandwich monocoque, full aerodynamic package and an HV accumulator stored in the rear.

HorsePower Hannover e.V. was founded in 2007 and first competed as a combustion team in 2009. The first electric car was build in 2011, the electricHorse11. This season, we build our 10th electric vehicle, the eH20, with an AWD concept with four individual wheel hub drives, CFRP aluminium sandwich monocoque, full aerodynamic package and a HV accumulator stored in the side pods.

HorsePower Hannover e.V. was founded in 2007 by a group of 10 engineering students. Our first events were FSUK and FSG in 2009 with the RacePony09, a combustion racecar. 2011 we build our first electric racecar, the electricHorse11. This year we are competing with an electric all wheel drive racecar at FSG.

HorsePower Hannover e.V. was founded in 2007 by a group of 10 engineering students. Our first events were Silverstone and Hockenheim in 2009 with the RacePony09, a combustion racecar. Step by step we learned about building an electric racecar. By retaining the know-how and establishing new structures of organisation, our team of more than 50 interdisciplinary students is improving the all wheel driven, single CFRP monocoque every year.

Step by step we learned about building an electric racecar. By retaining the know-how and establishing new structures of organisation, our team of more than 60 interdisciplinary students is improving the all wheel driven, single CFRP monocoque every year.

By retaining the know-how and establishing new structures of organisation, our team of more than 40 interdisciplinary students decided to implement a new concept, which means to develop an all wheel driven racecar with a single piece CFRP Monocoque.

HorsePower Hannover e.V. was founded in 2007 by a group of 10 engineering students. Only two years later the "RacePony09" was presented. Featuring a combustion engine it was our first step into the Formula Student. During the season the team got the know-how to produce a winner’s car: the “RaceHorse10”, which won in Barcelona in 2010. After this major success HorsePower decided to take on a new challenge: an all-electric race car. Thus the “electricHorse11” was born. After two successful seasons at FSUK and FSS with the eH11 and a Best Teamwork Award at FSS with its successor, the eH12, the team now proudly presents the third generation of electric horses: the eH13. Featuring a self-made Battery Management System, an improved sensory system and a high production integration from casting magnesium parts to milling on self-constructed CNC machines, 45 students are eager to prove themselves in Silverstone, Hockenheim and Barcelona.

The eH11 is the third vehicle from HorsePower Hannover and our first car with pure electric drivetrain. After building two combustion cars we switched to electric because it's a completely new technological challenge. Driven by two permanent magnet excited synchronous machines with 47kW each, combined with torque vectoring technology the car delivers an amazing driving performance. The power is supplied by 420 lithium polymer accumulator cells monitored by a self-developed battery management system. Not only the electric powertrain was built from scratch, also the carbon fiber suspension and magnesium cast uprights are completely new designed. About 30 prospective engineers work meticulously to achieve ideal solutions for the car whereas they are not superficial weather it is day or night. The team is living the spirit of the car - a spirit you can grasp in every single detail. See you in Hockenheim!
