The main objective of a gearset is the alteration of rotational speed and torque coming from an input shaft, so that the output is suitable for the machine’s requirements. Within our Formula Student vehicle, powered by a pair of electric motors, the axle from the motor spins at a great rotational speed, albeit with a low torque. In order to adapt the power delivery to our needs, a reduction gear ratio is required – the rotational speed will be lower, and the torque will incre

After months of designing and manufacturing, the time to assemble the FSB2020 has arrived at last!!! The whole team is very eager to see the birth of one of this season’s racing cars, which will most likely compete both in FSUK and FSS. A few days ago, the monocoque was painted at Bengolea and now it is ready to receive all the parts that make up this electric vehicle.
