Cooperation proposal
eForce FEE Prague Formula
eForce FEE Prague Formula is a student project of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of CTU, which focuses on the development and production of racing formulas powered by electric energy. The eForce team designs and builds its own monoposts that compete in the international Formula Student competition.
Students involved in the project gain practical experience in designing, manufacturing, testing and racing electric vehicles, while developing their technical and managerial skills. The eForce team regularly ranks among the top student teams in this prestigious competition. The formula project is administered by the Department of Electric Drives and Traction.
