About SZEnergy Team…
Our Goal
In the SZEnergy team, we consider the development of students as our mission. Beyond the university classes, we provide professional experience and mentoring to all our team members to help their professional development. The SZEnergy team is an investment in the future for both companies and students, as many of our talented team members will later work for one of our partners and companies.
Our History
Since 2005, the Department of Road and Railway Vehicles and the Automotive Research Center with the mentorship of the instructors and researchers, we have built many electric-powered racing cars. At first, solar panels provided the electrical energy, and later the team developed and built battery-operated, purely electric powered cars. Our cars have already achieved great results both nationally and internationally, thanks to the team’s research and development. Every year since 2008, we have participated in the world’s largest energy efficiency competition, the Shell Eco-marathon. Our team operates as a section of the Jedlik Ányos College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. The operation of the SZEnergy team is supported by the Student Community Association for the Development of Alternative Transportation.
Our Race
The Shell Eco-marathon is an energy efficiency competition held for more than 30 years. In the competition, students compete with their own designed and built racing cars to see who can cover the greatest possible distance with a unit of energy. At the Shell Eco-marathon, teams can race in 3 energy classes: purely electric, hydrogen and internal combustion. Within this, they can enter in the prototype or small city car categories. Our team participates in the category of small electric city car at the international competition.
