The Winners

Project Summaries

E3Team EPSEVG

At E3, the goal is to use all of the knowledge they have learned in their studies to create new electric mobility solutions and compete in the Motostudent competition.

UPM MotoStudent Electric 

A new design for an efficient powertrain is the focus of the team. Beyond building an efficient powertrain, the team has its eyes on revolutionising the industry through innovative simulation optimisation methodology. In addition to their competitive goals, making a broader impact on the industry is key to what they do. Specifically aiming to produce detailed technical notes and documentation throughout the project. These technical insights will not only serve as a comprehensive resource for our team but also contribute valuable knowledge to the wider industry.

UVigo SpaceLab

Bringing students from diverse disciplines and backgrounds to design, and manufacture the operation of small satellites to help put knowledge into practice and ensure they are work-ready is what UVigo is all about. The current development is BIXO; which will consist of 2U CubeSat with the main goal of effects of prolonged exposure to the space environment for living organisations.

UVigo SpaceLab promotes a culture of sustainability among its members, encouraging environmentally friendly practices in their daily operations. Additionally, the team is open to all cultures and genders, without any discrimination, encouraging students to be the professionals of the future.

HYperloop UPV

With almost a decade of experience, Hyperloop UPV is determined to continue making improvements and explore new possibilities to turn hyperloop technology into a reality. The team exist to not only advance technology but also the skills of all team members from various disciplines.

With low power requirements and utilising existing technology in induction motors to transform hyperloop technologies, collaboration and partnerships are key drivers for making this possible. 

Faraday Rocketry UPV

With two key main objectives on their horizon; to be the first student team in Europe to reach space and excel in all competition, the team has proven this through dedication and a previous award, the Flight Award, at 2023 EuRoC (largest student rocketry competition in Europe). 

The team aims to accelerate the development of space technology in Spain and also educate people about the space sector. Demonstrating their passion for sustainability, the work of the team aims to tackle employability and reduce waste by reuse and repurposing. 

ePowered RACING 

The team have ambitious goals of building a 100% Electric racing motorcycle which is capable of winning the MotoStudent Electric competition.

Building on previous experiences from previous generations of their electric motorcycles, a more sustainable approach has been taken into consideration to inspire a shift towards a more sustainable lifecycle of transportation.
