Full throttle for e-mobility
Baumüller sponsors Formula Student Team
Baumüller sponsors the Strohm + Söhne Formula Student Team at Nuremberg Institute of Technology with financial and material donations as well as supportive cooperation. The new vehicle for the 2018 season, "NoRa 5", was used for the first time in Italy in mid-July.
Designing and building your own racing car. Not exactly an everyday pastime. But this is exactly what students at Nuremberg Institute of Technology Georg Simon Ohm are passionate about. Formula Student makes it possible: students work here as a team of developers, designers, purchasers, project planners, controllers and racing drivers.
Every year, student teams compete against each other in the international competition with an all-electric formula racing car that they have designed and built themselves. The students put all the theoretical knowledge they learn at university into practice here. The result is a finished racing car that has to fulfill around 100 pages of technical guidelines, including an associated marketing plan.
"We are delighted that young people are so enthusiastic about technology," says Andreas Baumüller, Managing Partner of the Baumüller Group. Baumüller supports Strohm + Söhne, the Formula Student Team of the Technical University of Nuremberg, with financial and material donations as well as supportive cooperation. With its experience as a drive and automation specialist for mobile applications, Baumüller is also very interested in projects that promote e-mobility.
On June 28, 2018, the team presented the new "NoRa 5" racing car. "We took an extra season off so that we could be perfectly prepared and start 2018 with a fully operational racing car," explains team manager Michaela Gremer, who is delighted with the successful rollout of the racing car. "NoRa 5" was used for the first time from July 11 to 15 in Italy. There, Strohm + Söhne competed against teams from all over the world. Only those who passed the demanding technical inspection were admitted to further disciplines, such as the acceleration test and the supreme discipline: the endurance race over 22.5 kilometers. as
