Formula Hybrid+Electric

A competition for high-performance hybrid and electric cars built by teams of undergraduate and graduate engineering students.

With technological challenges for students with backgrounds in electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering, Formula Hybrid encourages interdisciplinary teamwork and innovation. Students are challenged to design, build, and compete an open-wheel, single-seat, plug-in hybrid race car. This car must conform to a formula which emphasizes drive train innovation and fuel efficiency in a high-performance application.
