Team Details

This year our EDGE16 is a new and improved version of last season’s car. We took valuable lessons from last year to identify opportunities for growth and are back stronger - with a big emphasis on reliability. Our more than 100 team members worked tirelessly on the car to get it into competitive shape. With our self-developed engines and inverters, combined with improved aerodynamics, we are ready to hit the racetracks and are looking forward to a great competition. We are one – 41!

2024 marks an exciting milestone in the history of TU Wien Racing: This year's EDGE is already our tenth car with an electric engine!Our main goal was to refine proven components and to solve problems we encountered last year. The EDGE15 has an entirely new powertrain including new engines, a new inverter and an overhauled accumulator.The team of around 100 students can’t wait to get back to Hockenheim, especially since we weren’t able to attend last year. We are one - 41!

For its 15th anniversary, TU Wien Racing is competing with its 8th electric vehicle, EDGE13. After years of running RWD concepts, the team is now tackling the next frontier by switching to all-wheel drive. TUWR is using a completely revised drivetrain packaging featuring an all new self-developed 30kW wheel hub motor. The EDGE13 will also be competing in the Driverless events. These innovations provided many exciting challenges for a group of highly motivated students! We are one - 41!

This year TU Wien Racing is attending the competition with the EDGE12, its seventh electric vehicle. Our goal for the season was to improve the self-developed powertrain and increase reliability by maximizing the amount of testing time conducted prior to Formula Student events. Each test run improves the car's performance and supplies the team with new data that forms the foundation for the development of the upcoming model. After a year of forced break, we cannot wait to compete on track again!

Since the decision to participate in FS Electric in 2014 TU Wien Racing focused on sophisticated in-house development. This year, our well proven and completely self-developed motors are complemented with self-designed inverters, allowing higher top speeds. The radically changed aerodynamics package for 2017 includes a monkey seat, laminated carbon tubes for additional accumulator cooling and a DRS. 5 standardized CAN nodes upgrade our wiring harness and simplify data processing.

TUW Racing participates in Formula Student since 2008. We changed 2014 from combustion to electric drive. The edge8 is our third electric car and is an evolution of the edge7. We use our self-developed electric motors in the third generation, directly located in the upright. The edge8 has a lot of carbon fiber parts, e.g. wishbones, monocoque, bodywork, aeropackage, rims. We would like to thank every sponsor who helps us to realise this project.

After 5 seasons powered by a KTM one-cylinder engine, our team continues the successful story of the "EDGE" series with our first electric racing car, the EDGE6. With lightweight design in every component we were able to further reduce the weight of our car. One-piece CFRP monocoque, 10" carbon rims, aeropackage, self-developed electric motors and transmission with CFRP drive shafts are just some of the features of our new racer. Special thanks to our many sponsors for their continuous support!
