DIVISIONS
DIRECTORS
The management consists of the team leader, 4 directors (2 technical and 2 management), who are the point of contact for all areas of the team, and the layout manager. Their job is to organize the design, development, and implementation of the car. In addition, they are in charge of static events during races.
AERODYNAMICS
The Aerodynamics division designs and develops the vehicle’s aerodynamic solutions, from CFD simulations to experimental validation. Its goal is to improve the efficiency of the aerodynamic package, ensuring a perfect balance between performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
VEHICLE DYNAMICS
This division focuses on studying and simulating the dynamic behavior of the vehicle. Through analysis and computational tools, they provide input on how to optimize the dynamic behavior of the vehicle.
CHASSIS
The Chassis division is responsible for the complete design of the vehicle’s monocoque frame. By employing CAD and FEM modeling tools and studying composite materials, particularly carbon fiber, the team develops a lightweight and resistant structure that ensures both performance and safety.
Mechanical Structures
This division is responsible for the design and optimization of the vehicle’s structural components, ensuring strength, lightness, and reliability. Using CAD modeling and FEM analysis tools, the team studies production processes and the most suitable technological solutions for the chassis and load-bearing parts.
DRIVER INTERFACE
This division is responsible for the development of systems that allow the driver to interface with the vehicle, such as the steering wheel, pedals, seat, and safety harness. The goal is to combine ergonomics, safety, and precision in the design of essential driving components.
DRIVERLESS
The Driverless division develops and maintains the autonomous driving system, integrating software, sensors, and controllers to enable the vehicle to operate without a driver. Its activities range from data collection and analysis to the development of localization, mapping, and fault-tolerant systems.
ELECTRONICS & FIRMWARE
This division handles the entire electronic development of the vehicle, from schematic design to PCB layout, including soldering, simulations, and testing. In parallel, it develops the firmware for microcontroller management, working with C/C++ programming and Linux environments to guarantee reliability and precision of onboard systems.
POWERTRAIN
The area deals with the development and optimization of the vehicle’s propulsion system, taking care of the selection and integration of components from the battery to the motors. It analyzes the behavior of the powertrain through tests and simulations, with the goal of maximizing efficiency and performance.
COST REPORT
The sector draws up the bill of materials and the development of a cost model that assigns a monetary value to the machine components. Like the Business Plan fellows, Cost Report members also participate in an event, the Cost Report event, in the race of the season.
BUSINESS PLAN
Members develop a business idea for a prototype machine, and then create strategic and
marketing plans. They aim to be as prepared as possible for participation in the Business Plan
event that will be held at all races in the season.
MARKETING & COMMUNICATION
The sector members are responsible for enhancing and promoting the image of the team and its projects. Through communication strategies and brand promotion activities, they bring the group’s identity to the outside world. They also take care of brand design, livery, web presence, and much more.
LOGISTICS
This sector deals with the management of relationships between companies
and teams, from a purchasing, ordering, and sponsorship perspective.
