Team Details

DHBW Engineering Stuttgart e.V. has been successfully competing in FormulaStudent since 2008. The team switched to electric vehicles in 2012 and built its first autonomous car in 2019. With 120 members, all corporate students balancing workand study without the option of taking a semester off. They are developing the car alongside full-time commitments. Supported by alumni and sponsors, DHBWEngineering is a success story driven by passion.

Our team, the DHBW Engineering Stuttgart e.V., consists of 130 motorsport enthusiastic students of the DHBW Stuttgart. Founded in 2008, we are already competing with our 15th Sleek. Every season we try to build on previous achievements, push the limits of our performance and strive to improve the lap time. Due to our unique way of studying and working, we rely heavily on a great team spirit, which leads us to our motto: It takes an A-Team to build an e-car.

DHBW Engineering Stuttgart - a team of nearly 100 students of the Cooperative State University of Baden Wuerttemberg. Starting in Formula Student Combustion and switching to Formula Student Electric in 2011, we’ve been building high performance cars for 13 years. For building an even better race car this year, our main goal of the season is to implement our self developed powermodule "PrePulse". To accomplish this challenge we depend on a perfectly harmonized and organised team.

Because of our special form of study and all other challenges that arise from Formula is why we depend on a perfectly harmonizing team to build our A-Team-E-Car.

Almost one hundred team members, organized in eight sub teams, joined up in the DHBW Engineering Stuttgart e.V. to build the new eSleek17, the sixth electric vehicle in the history of DHBW Engineering Stuttgart e.V. The creation of a stronger link between the different parts of the vehicle setup is one of this season's main goals in order to retrieve the full performance capability of the eSleek17.

The eSleek4x4 has been designed under the general requirements of controllability for the driver, reliability and agility in order to compete well in all disciplines at FSE. A major innovation has been made by the implementation of a 4-wheel drive, wherefore modifications at the monocoque, the kinematic and the gearbox have been necessary. Where possible, working concepts of the last years vehicle have been integrated in the eSleek4x4 in order to ensure a high reliability of the car.

The eSleek15 was designed under a few general decisions. At first was designed to be reliable and well-balenced in order to compete well in all disciplines at FSE. Furthermore the target weight was reduced to 171kg. Focusing an mechanical innovations the elctric systems should only undergo minor changes. All in all the main focus of the design process was the improvement of the vehicles dynamics. Therefore a completely new kinematic was combined with improved software and an aerodynamic package.

Our latest car eSleek14 is designed under following general decision. At first we want a reliable car, well-balanced for all events on FSE. Then we want to reduce the weight down to 180Kg. The electrical system should not changed in general compared to eSleek13 to concentrate on mechanical innovation. And at last the center of gravity should be lower, to optimize the dynamics of the car.This is achieved with a CFRP full monocoque and 10" wheels as the most obvious changes.

200 kg - 600V – 1000 Nm these figures should give you an idea of the eSleek13, the fifth and latest development of DHBW Engineering Stuttgart. Throughout the design process our main goals were to create a high performance, lightweight concept to perfectly match the demands of the formula student competition. Equipped with two highly efficient motors our interpretation of a formula style racecar has a total system power of 66 kW (90 hp) resulting in an impressive power to weight ratio of 2.2 kg/hp. The Chassis, which now consists of a hybrid structure made of a carbon fiber monocoque and a tubular steel frame is undoubtedly the most significant innovation to this season’s eSleek. This gave us the opportunity to develop great know how in the field of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and offers great potential for eSleek14. We would like to thank FSG and our sponsors for making it possible to participate in this great event and wish all teams the best of luck for the competition!

The DHBW Engineering Formula Student Team from the Cooperate State University Baden-Württemberg was founded in 2008 and already passed three successful seasons with a combustion car. The overall victory in Barcelona was a dignified ending of the combustion era and the development of the first electric car started in September 2011. Thanks to our sponsors we are now proud to present our eSleek12. The totally new electric drivetrain consists out of 2 synchronous machines with a 2-stage gearbox, very lightweight power electronics and a modular battery consisting of 400 single cells. Our tubular space frame and suspension were further optimized and a significant weight reduction of more than 10 kg could be reached. We are looking forward to an interesting season and wish all teams good luck.
