UPC ecoRacing is a technological research association mainly composed by industrial engineers and students from the Escola Tècnica Superior d'Enginyeries Industrial i Aeronàutica de Terrassa (ETSEIAT) from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), with the main objective of developing new eco-friendly technologies in the automotive field.
UPC ecoRacing was born with the aim of bringing to practice not only the knowledge acquired at the university lessons but widening it through the automotive field.
One of the main activities in UPC ecoRacing is to create single-seaters in order to participate in Formula Student events, an international engineering competition where students from the best universities all over the world have the chance to compete and learn designing and manufacturing competition cars following the given technical rules.
In 2010, after two years of R&D, UPC ecoRacing introduced the first competition hybrid car designed and assembled in Spain: the ecoR2. This revolutionary prototype achieved a staggering second place in the Formula Student Electric & Hybrid Italy event in Turin. Furthermore, the ecoR2 was the car with the least energy consumption in the competition.
In 2011, thanks to its collaborators and sponsors, the team introduced a new version of the ecoR2 with technical improvements and a new image. With this new car, the team achieved the sixth position in the FS at Silverstone and obtained the second position in the Formula Student Spain.
In 2012 the target was to go deeper into the study of the car, to extend the technical expertise and to maximize the performance in order to face the ecoR2 with the 40 most competitive teams at the Formula Hybrid competition in the United States. The team gave its best again and the hard work paid off: the victory in the Static Events and a third place in the overall.
