The PWR Racing Team constructors have unveiled their thirteenth Formula Student class car. The vehicle uses electric propulsion and autonomous driving systems. It will soon be possible to see if the improvements made this year will allow it to repeat its racing successes.
The PWR Racing Team is a team of talented and ambitious students from the Wrocław University of Technology, who have set themselves the goal of building a new Formula Student class car every year. The RT13e is the thirteenth vehicle they have created, the second with electric drive and autonomous driving systems. In its design work, the PWR Racing Team uses the latest technological solutions. In doing so, it takes an innovative approach to building the bolide, using 3D printing, among other things. The vehicle was completed on time and its first ceremonial demonstration took place in June 2023. It willsoon be able to prove itself on European Formula Student circuits.
The premiere of the RT13e car, which draws on the latest technology, is an expression of the ambition, perseverance and innovation of the PWR Racing Team design team. These are values that are also important to Endego. Therefore, we are happy to support its young creators, congratulate them on achieving their goals and keep our fingers crossed for further success. As a sponsor, we are delighted to have been able to contribute to the creation of this remarkable machine.
Bus accessibility is not an afterthought but a set of requirements that influence the layout of the floor, suspension, and passenger compartment. A low entry height, space for a wheelchair, or the ability to lower the vehicle at a stop all stem from specific dimensional and functional requirements. That is why accessibility should be considered as early as the vehicle concept stage, rather than only during interior design.
Read moreCybersecurity in rolling stock has moved beyond a late-stage IT check and become a vehicle-engineering discipline. Network architecture, supplier responsibilities, software updates, secrets management and vulnerability handling all have to remain workable throughout a fleet’s service life.
Read moreRolling stock OEMs can reduce prototype risk by defining the validation scope early, connecting design with FEM analysis, checking critical joints and interfaces, and preparing traceable evidence before manufacturing begins. Simulation does not remove the need for physical testing. It helps make the prototype a confirmation of a mature design rather than the first place where major structural weaknesses are discovered.
