First place at international competitions in Spain - Formula Student team of RUDN Institute of Innovative Engineering Technologies

July 15-22, a series of international Smartmoto Challenge competitions took place in Barcelona (Spain). For 6 years, RUDN students have been participating in the Smartmoto Challenge. The latest 3D printing technology and artificial intelligence were used to build the prototype of an electric motorcycle.

Teams participating in the competition underwent technical inspection, including braking, noise and airtight tests, as well as a series of static tests. The participants made a technical presentation and financial calculations. In addition, the electric bike took dynamic tests: for acceleration, energy consumption, autocross and endurance race. A mandatory part of the competition is the defence of the business plan, which explains how the team plans to launch the project in terms of production organization, prices, dealer network and sales markets.

1st place - pride for Formula Student, our congratulations and we wish you new victories in future seasons!

For reference:

Smartmoto Challenge is a series of international student engineering competitions in the field of energy-efficient transport. Teams of students of technical universities should design, build and test a light motorcycle with electric traction during the year. The judges of the competition are international industry entrepreneurs and experts - engineers, marketers and designers.
