Team Uttejitis the official Formula Student Hybrid team of VIT University, Vellore, India.

The team consists of 60 engineering students pursuing various streams of engineering. The team is subdivided into various departments which are Power Train, Electrical, Vehicle Dynamics, Chassis Design, Aerodynamics and Management. Each department is further divided with Power Train compromising of Engine Management, Power Electronics and Systems Management. The Electrical department consists of Control Engineering, Telemetry and Data Analytics. The Vehicle Dynamics department includes the Suspension, Steering, Brakes and Tyre Modelling divisions.

Formula Student Team Uttejit, in 2017 won Asia’s largest Formula student competition- the ISIE HVC, by dominating the Acceleration, Endurance and Skid Pad. The team also received the Best driver and the Green Mobility award.

The team takes part in SAE Formula Hybrid which is held at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Loudon, New Hampshire, USA.

HISTORY
The team’s roots extend back to 2013, where its groundwork was laid to manufacture hybrid go karts. The team, in 2016 proceeded to start designing and manufacturing formula student prototype race cars.

The team has so far designed and manufactured over Five race cars.

MISSION
The teams mission is to design and manufacture high performance vehicles which are efficient and environmentally conscious. The car resulting from their unparalleled hard work is put through its paces in the events organized by SAE International. The aim is always to give their best in both the static as well as dynamic events. The results from the competition are the tangible indicators of how much they have improved and where they stand. But as a formula hybrid team they believe they are part of something greater.

Given the recent advancements in Formula One with F1 going hybrid themselves and numerous governments worldwide including India pushing for substantial emission reductions in automobiles, they are observing a much required injection of funds and research into the hybrid industry as a whole. Hybrids are now recognized as the bridge between today and tomorrow and it gives them immense pleasure and satisfaction to be a small part of this big revolution.

2017-18 Season
The team is led by TVS Dhruv. They believe team is capable of reaching great heights and look forward to a successful season.

Under Dhruv that the team first went International and made a remarkable number of changes to their design, concept and strategies. The team incorporated their first Aero Package and also researched heavily on Tyre Data and increased their simulation and testing times for a better overall design.

The car, TU 18 will be launched this year in the upcoming semester of VIT University.
