Extracurricular Activities

Manufacturing & Design of an E-Kart (1/2)

Leading Escudería B Racing , sponsored by Schaeffler R&D E-Mobility

B Racing started as a team of 5 members on Feb 2022. After the proposal of a project of the automotive engineering students (Aug 2023) to design and manufacture an E-Kart, the joint venture of all members took place. Schaeffler proposed to sponsor the project. This is the inspiration, design, manufacturing and installation processes of main components and first testings of the eKart BR24-E - fabricated by students. Mentor: PhD (mechanic engineer) David Hernández Castillo.

Manufacturing & Design of an E-Kart (2/2)

Leading Escudería B Racing , sponsored by Schaeffler R&D E-Mobility

Testing, manufacturing, bodywork creation and competition of the eKart BR24-E. Winners of the Electratón 2024 Season with 3x 2nd and 2x 1st place races in Toluca, Querétaro, Cuautla, Guadalajara and Monterrey racing tracks. The team was invited to participate in Formula E CDMX Grand Prix on Jan 2025.
