Success Story
High-Voltage Motorsports X TQ
Innovative Electric Motors for a Groundbreaking Suspension in Formula Student
More Than Just a Racing Team
High-Voltage Motorsports e.V. is the Formula Student team of Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. Each year, the team designs and builds a race car to compete in international competitions in the Electric and Driverless categories – currently, the team is working intensively on the vehicle for the 2025 season, with the rollout scheduled for the end of May.
The Challenge
In 2021, the team began developing a fully active, electromechanical suspension system. To achieve the required dynamics, they searched for a powerful torque motor – and found the perfect partner in TQ.
Why Electric Motors from TQ?
- Maximum torque density – Compact design for a lightweight, efficient system
- High motor constant – Ideal for precise control in both active and passive operation
- Easy integration – Perfect for seamless system adaptation in the race car
- Custom configuration options – Wide selection of sizes and internal windings
Success on the Track
The developed suspension proved to be a true competitive advantage: In 2022, the team won the Innovation Award at the Formula Student event in Spain – a groundbreaking achievement in the racing series.
