Team Description
As a team from the Lower Saxony state capital of Hannover it was one of our main interests to represent our city as leading industrial location for the future of the electric mobility. We are a young team and we look forward to exchange knowledge with all the other teams in the world.
Past Events

Info
10x
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. Step by step we learned about building an electric racecar. 2016 we build the first autonomous electric racecar. This year, our goal is to finish all dynamic events. To achieve this goal we focused on improving our autonmous system's reliability. Therefore we equipped our electric eH17 with technology for driving autonomously.

2017
Info
6x
HorsePower Hannover has followed the trend of future technologies since 2011 with its first electric-powered racecar. Now, six years later, this will once again be part of our agenda. Starting with the 2017 season, HorsePower Hannover took on the challenge of equipping one of our racecars with the technology to drive autonomously. We would like to especially thank our supporters: Volkswagen, Faurecia, hannoverImpuls, Nvidia, IDS Imaging, iMar Navigation, Phoenix Contact and dSpace.
