We're thrilled to announce our partnership with 3D EduWorks! Thanks to their dedication and support, we've gained access to the 3D Experience platform from Dassault Systèmes. We’ve found great value in using 3D Experience for applications like Product Data Management (PDM) systems, Project Planning, CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, SIMULIA, and more in our season so far. A huge thank you to 3D EduWorks for their commitment and assistance in getting this system up and running for our team. #TUfastEco #3DEduWorks 

Big shoutout to our sponsor A.R.T. ELEKTROMECHANIK-VERTRIEBS-GMBH(https://lnkd.in/gBfs9ZKN). Thanks to their generous support, we were able to introduce yet another innovation into the design of our highly efficient urban concept car - plastic screws. Sounds simple, but saves us valuable additional grams for every metal screw that we replaced with these specialized plastic screws that do not compromise the stability of our structure. We strive to go to the limit of available options when reducing the weight of our car to achieve the highest efficiency possible. And every gram counts. Check out their offering (https://lnkd.in/gBfs9ZKN) if you need anything in regards to screws, LED or fastening accessories, optical fibers, protective caps or any other assembly equipment. 

Throwback to the Autonomous Urban Concept (AUC) 2023, organized as a part of the Shell Eco-Marathon in France🌟 Achievements: 🏆 We surpassed the 2022 performance and drove autonomously around the track, scoring 4th place. 💪 Challenges Conquered: 🚗 Parts of the real-world simulation on the track were following a longer road, avoiding obstacles, parking, and stopping at stop lines. 🌍 🤖🔧 #Throwback #AUC #ShellEcoMarathon #TUfastEcoTeam #AUCRecap #AutonomousInnovation 🌐🚗

🌟 Looking back at the exhilarating experience of competing in the Shell Eco Marathon. 🌟 🏆 Achievements: 🥇 Simulate to Innovate Award 🥈 Urban Concept - Battery Electric 🥈 Telemetry Award 🥈 Safety Award 🎯 Goal: Design and build the most energy-efficient vehicle, adhering to rigorous tech and safety standards. ⚡️🌿 Teams aim to use as little energy as possible on the motorsport circuit. It’s not just about a good car and driver; planning, strategy, and communication matter too. We consider the weather, track conditions, and other teams. 💪 🌍 Competitors: Over 300 teams from universities worldwide. Teams are categorized by energy source and vehicle design, competing within their classes. 🌐🏁 SEM 2024 is approaching, with only 4 months remaining! We’re eagerly counting down to this year’s competition and to present how much we’ve improved. 🚀🔧 #ShellEcoMarathon #TUfastEcoTeam #STEMInnovation #SustainableMobility

Reflecting on a wonderful 2023, we’re taking a moment to look back on a year filled with milestones and triumphs. 🙌 We produced and completed muc023, culminating in a very successful rollout and great achievements at Shell Eco Marathon and Autonomous Urban Concept! In September we proudly shattered the Guinness world record for the longest distance driven in an electric car (non solar)! Having turned the page to a new season, our sights are set on the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2025 with a new, solar-powered car, lux025. ☀ Throughout the year, we’ve celebrated with our incredible sponsors and supporters at events like our muc023 Rollout, Prime Fair, Werkstattfrühstück, the world record at the IAA Mobility and our festive Christmas party. To all those who stood by us in 2023, we extend our deepest gratitude. Here’s to the memories made, the challenges overcome, and the anticipation of an even more remarkable 2024. Wishing everyone a fantastic New Year ahead! 🚗💨🏆

With 2024 slowly approaching, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to all the sponsors that supported us throughout this year! Your unwavering support has been the cornerstone of our success for muc023, our world record attempt, and our newest project: lux025! Together, your contributions have helped us achieve remarkable milestones. Thank you for being the driving force behind our accomplishments! 🌟 🚀 #TUfasEcoTeam #muc023 #lux025
