Team Description
KTH Formula Student is a project where we design, manufacture, test and compete with a car in Formula Student. The project is all about learning to work as a team and produce a high quality product together. The experiences gained from the year long project provides the members with a head start in the transit between academic studies and the future workplace.
KTH Formula Student was founded 2003 by Dr. Fredrik Westin, former PhD student at KTH. Since then we have competed continuously in Formula Student competitions. Today, the team consists of around 80 students from different educational programs and phases at KTH.

At KTH Formula Student, the main design philosophy revolves around being efficient and practical. At the same time, sustainability is something that is implemented in all ends of our project. To achieve this, the work is based on the core values of the team: Learning, Teamwork and Engineering. These are achieved by aiming to be working with a number of things: documentation, transparency and maintaining good relations with our partners to mention a few.
