Formula Hybrid Car (FHSAE) 2014-2015

The Vandal Hybrid Racing Team is a University organization that competes annually at the Formula Hybrid competition hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers. This team gives students the opportunity to demonstrate and further develop their engineering skills by challenging them to build a hybrid formula car. Because of the complexity of a hybrid vehicle, building it involves interdisciplinary collaboration between students. For the 2015 competition, the team will be using the same car that was used in the 2014 competition. Therefore, it is required that the team perform significant improvements to the 2014 car by redesigning problem components, reducing weight, and increasing vehicle efficiency.
