DUT15 is an extremely lightweight, 4wd electric race car. The goal is to win the competitions the team of 50+ engineers enters by designing, building, testing and validating a formula-style race car in only 9 months. DUT15 was the most successful car in the history of the team and won Formula Student United Kingdom and Formula Student Germany.
As one of the two industrial design engineers, I focussed on the ergonomics of the car. Main task was to design and produce the parts related to the driver: the seat, the dashboard, the steering wheel and the head restraint. Both a small driver (P5) as well as a tall driver P95 needed to be able to drive the car comfortably. Close communication with the interfacing parts (Chassis and Electronics) was essential for successful detailing of the design.
Building a car in 9 months, an intense process
The interdisciplinary team contained students from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering and other study areas. It was interesting to work with these various backgrounds and the project gave me knowledge and insights in other fields. The year was intense, the car was designed and built from scratch. Competition (100+ teams from all over the world) is harsh and the car has to perform at a very high level (0-100 km/h in 2 .3s).
