Team Details

With a history of building fully electric racecars since 2012, the egn25 is e-gnition Hamburg’s newest car. It features a redesigned aero package and improved manufacturing quality. With the addition of RGSS and tire temperature sensors, it enables predictive performance software—enhancing both vehicle insight and reliability.

The design of the egn24 focusses on improving reliability. By using new motor controllers, we can get more power out of the egn24 while increasing reliability without failures. The monocoque of the egn24 has been heavily customised, which creates more space for the aerodynamics to increase performance. The new lidar optimises our DV performance. This makes the egn24 faster and better in all disciplines!

e-gnition Hamburg was founded in 2011 and participates in the EV since 2012 and DV class since 2017. After introducing a new aerodynamics package and wheel assembly in the last season, the egn23 design concentrates on improving the powertrain reliability. For this, not only the accumulator is redesigned but also a motor test bench is constructed to validate the inverter settings. This makes the egn23 stronger and faster than ever!

e-gnition Hamburg participates in the formula student since 2012. All-time EV-Team and pioneers in the DV category! The experience gained, after having built their first combined EV-DV vehicle last season, was used to introduce the egn22. A highly integrated DV actuation, completely reworked monocoque shape and a new 10" wheel assembly are just a few of the innovations the egn22 features - and that's just what's visible from the outside!

The egn20 is the most innovative and forward-thinking car e-gnition has ever build. In the coming years FSG is looking to integrate driverless technology into every car participating in the event. We decided to start this integration one year early. The egn20 is able to run EV and with a quick change of the steering wheel and front wing it is capable to drive DV as well. The steering actuation is fully integrated into the steering wheel and easily exchangeable with a quick release.

The egn18-ev is the seventh car of the e-gnition Hamburg Team. We opted for an all-wheel drive, featuring a carbon fibre monocoque, a complete aerodynamic package and a completely improved accumulator system. With our strong team we managed to ensure a community in which everybody helped each other, and through which we got our car out on the testing track by mid may.We are excited to spend a great week with the Formula Student community at a sunny Hockenheim race track!

e-gnition is the Formula Student Electric Team of the TU Hamburg. This year we built our sixth electronic car. After the most succesful year in our history with one of the best rear-wheel driven cars of the competition field, we decided to take the next step on the evolutionary ladder. We are now running a four-wheel drive, a DRS, an undertray and a new monocoque. We are pleased to present you our new egn17!

e-gnition is the Formula Student Electric Team of the TU Hamburg. The focus of this season was on reliability and love. The team members are building the car, the egn16, exclusively in their free time, in return they get love and fun but no credit points or money. So we decided to make the benefits as big as possible and we tried to love our mates as much as we can. We also built a very reliable car to rush trough the scrutineering and take all dynamic events to the end. See you on the podium.

e-gnition is the FSE team of the TU Hamburg. Founded in 2011 the egn15 will be our fourth car. Instead of an evolutionary design we opted for a revolution. The egn15 is our first car to feature a CFRP monocoque as well as a full aerodynamic package. Front and rear wings have a DRS system installed which helps directing air to the cooling system on straightaways. We developed our telemetry system in cooperation with our main sponsor NXP. It features state of the art V2X communication technology.

Representing the TUHH the Team e-gnition Hamburg consits of 60 students. Founded in 2011 e-gnition Hamburg developed the third electrical Formual Student race-car of its history. Based on the technical expertise made in the past the egn14 is 50kg lighter. This became possible by using new accumultor cells, motors and doing the bodywork with an environmental friendly material based on natural fibres. At this point we would like to say thank you to all our supporters and Sponsors!

The egn13 is the 2nd Formula Student race car of the Hamburg University of Technology. The main improvements are a higher reliability of all electrical and mechanical components and a much better service facility, for example by new battery design which can be easily removed through the bottom of the frame.

The EGN 12 will be the debuting car of the Hamburg University Of Technology. The newly established team has been founded in May 2011 and managed to develop and assemble its electric vehicle within a single year. The car itself weighs about 290kg and contains different key technologies for example torque vectoring, an innovative on-board communication system, which enables easy communication with smart phones and the option of using e-call in case of an emergency. For parts of the body shell the superficial structure of a shark’s skin will be applied to optimize the air flow. Two 35kW EMRAX-Motors, which were originally designed for gliding airplanes are used on the rear axles to power the back wheels via a gear of 2:1. The motors can turn up to 3000rpm with a maximum torque of 220nm – and all at 12kg each. Even though the season 2012 is the team’s first Formula Student season the team managed to build a technologically developed car, it can accelerate from 0-100km/h in about 4s.
