//Strong Partnerships as a basis for success
Without the cooperation and support of our sponsors, this project would not even be feasible - we say thank you for this!
//TITEL SPONSOR
BMW Group
The BMW Group plant in Steyr is the largest engine plant of the world-famous car manufacturer BMW. More than 1 million diesel and petrol engines are produced here every year and more than half of all BMW and MINI vehicles have a ‘heart’ from Steyr. In addition, intensive research and development work on new e-drives is carried out at the plant's state-of-the-art development centre.
Known for its high-quality products and innovative technology, the Steyr plant manufactures components for BMW's e-models and plans to implement its own efficient drive systems in a CO2-neutral production process by 2025.
The BMW Group Plant Steyr supports us in all areas of the team and combines production, expertise, important financial support and community in one co-operation. Among other things, the engine plant manufactured the wheel carriers for the EDGE15. Additionally, some parts were manufactured in the plant's modern apprentice workshop.
With the title sponsorship, we also became the fourth team to be included in the BMW Group's Formula Student programme. The large network of mentors gives us an insight into BMW's extensive expertise in all areas of vehicle development. In addition, we are already experiencing a close relationship with the other sponsored teams through various events organised by BMW.
By supporting our project and research initiatives, BMW Group Plant Steyr is showing a strong commitment to supporting the next generation and looking to the future. Their investment in research and development makes an important contribution to the development of pioneering technologies and sustainable solutions for the mobility of tomorrow.
We are proud of our partnership with them and thank them for their valuable support!
//PLATINUM SPONSORS
How do you successfully pitch a business plan in front of potential investors? What are the critical components of a business model that an investor values? This exchange with experts who are just as passionate about the automotive industry as we are was worth gold.
Thanks to the support of EFS Consulting, we can fall back on a broad, long-term specialist knowledge. As young technicians, we benefit to a great extent here and learn a lot from the business side.
Together we were able to win first place in the business plan presentation at a Formula Student event!
Precision. A catchphrase whose meaning becomes clear to everyone who sees our EDGE speed down the racetrack at full speed for the first time. The focus on precision begins in the design and is of fundamental importance, especially in production. The requirement of the tightest tolerances makes the manufacture of the planetary gears for our all-wheel electric drive a major challenge. Due to their more than 30 years of experience in spark erosion, Fuhrmann Erodiertechnik is exactly the right partner for this task, on whose advice, expertise and precise production we can rely. Thank you and look forward to a successful cooperation!

HP INC.
Design components, analyze strengths, simulate air currents and render images. All of this is part of our daily business and all of this requires gigantic amounts of computing power. The new Z840 performance workstations from HP make the hearts of technicians beat faster. Finally, all the necessary calculations can be carried out with a realistic resolution. And the best thing about it: Instead of having to wait several hours as before, the simulation results are now available in a few minutes. So we can simulate more often, develop faster and of course learn more. Thanks HP for the Z840 workstations!
TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF VIENNA
Reinhard Fendrich is already singing “I am here, I belong there”. The TU Vienna is our home. The majority of our teammates study here, our workshop is located here and the TU Wien supports us with all the means we need. The project would not be feasible without our university. At this point, a big thank you to the rectorate, all professors, the administration and all employees.
PEAK TECHNOLOGY GMBH
With us since the beginning and always our point of contact when our carbon knowledge is running low. Regardless of whether you have questions about strength calculations or manufacturing steps, Peak Technology is always there for us. The high-tech workplaces and machines that make the production of a carbon monocoque possible in the first place are also located in Holzhausen. Without the expertise and possibilities of Peak Technology we would not be at the technical level we are today.
