The Drivetrain group is responsible for converting the car’s electrical energy into motion with minimal loss. They have the responsibility of designing, validating, developing, and testing every drivetrain component — from in-wheel motors and gearing to uprights, brakes, pedal box, and the liquid-cooling circuit that keeps the motors and inverters within their temperature window. This work follows an iterative process of detailed CAD modelling, dynamic and thermal simulation, and comprehensive bench-to-track testing. Precise mechanical engineering and materials science are applied throughout to maximise durability while keeping mass to a minimum.
The system employs an in-wheel layout in which each motor sits at the rim center, passes through the upright, and ties into the outboard suspension. The configuration reduces complexity, cuts friction losses, and increases the drivetrain’s responsiveness. It also opens the possibility for advanced 4WD. Altogether, an optimized drivetrain gives more rapid acceleration, solid braking capability, and agile cornering, all which translate directly into faster lap times on the race track.
The Suspension group is responsible for designing and developing the components that connect the race car to the road, with the primary goal of optimizing tire contact, maintaining a stable aerodynamic platform, and ensuring predictable vehicle behaviour.
The group's work involves simulating, analyzing, and optimizing the car’s kinematics and dynamic behavior to improve performance and drivability. This includes extensive use of CAD for detailed component design and FEA for structural analysis, ensuring that both metal and composite suspension parts maintain mechanical integrity and exhibit controlled deflection under load.
The Embedded Electronics group is responsible for ensuring optimal performance and reliability of the car. Their work spans a wide range of tasks—from developing custom-designed printed circuit boards (PCBs) to writing and optimizing software for microcontrollers. They also deliver critical sensor data that is essential for propulsion, control, and overall performance.
The group is also in charge of converting and distributing energy from the battery pack to the motors through an inverter with an integrated control board. This is one of the most exciting core projects within Revolve and pushes the boundaries of efficiency and innovation.
During the fall, members focus on designing and developing custom PCBs, which they later produce, test, and optimize. Much of this work is done in collaboration with industry partners, making the experience both invaluable and deeply rewarding.
Additionally, the group is responsible for the entire wiring harness in the race car, as well as the integration and safety of all electronic components.
Powertrain's primary objective is to design and build the battery pack which gives life to the car. With a demanding task regarding cooling of the cells, a casing made from kevlar composite, and advanced battery management systems, Powertrain will give you a big insight in the development of multidisciplinary products.
The designing of the systems are done in industry-standard tools such as Altium and 3DExperience to give you valuable experience as early as possible in the fields you have a passion for.
We are currently searching for new battery cells, which will open the doors for big changes on the batterypack, both in form and function.
This is your opportunity to join us in a very exciting development phase, already as a student.

The Chassis group is responsible for developing, designing, and manufacturing the race car's monocoque, which is the vehicle’s primary load-bearing structure. Molded in carbon fiber, the chassis is produced to the highest standards, ensuring seamless integration of all surrounding systems. The result is a lightweight, stiff, and safe structure that forms the foundation for the car’s performance.
The monocoque is developed using advanced tools: CAD modeling in SolidWorks ensures precision and efficiency, Abaqus is used for structural and stiffness simulations, and FiberSim optimizes the carbon fiber layup throughout the molding process. Every detail is carefully evaluated with respect to weight, stiffness, and driver safety. These are parameters that are critical to performance and regulatory compliance.
Do you want to help maximize the car’s performance through advanced airflow manipulation?
The Aero group is responsible for designing, simulating and manufacturing the aerodynamic package, with the goal of increasing grip, reducing drag, and improving the car’s handling. This is achieved through iterative 3D modeling in CAD, flow analysis in CFD and structural validation using FEM. Fasteners are dimensioned to withstand the aerodynamic forces. The components are produced using advanced carbon fiber techniques.
Throughout the year, you’ll work closely with other groups to ensure that our solutions integrate seamlessly into the car as a whole. You’ll gain both the theoretical and practical experience that is required, and take part in every stage of the process - from designing the components to mounting them on the car.
