Euskelec is a competition organised by Tknika (an innovation centre promoted by the Vice-Ministry of Vocational Training of the Basque Government) in which students from vocational training centres in the Basque Country design and build a 100% electric vehicle on a common motor base (motor, motor controller and batteries) with the aim of promoting teamwork among the students and basing experimental and creative activity as a pedagogical element for the technical knowledge of electric vehicles.
The competition consists of a technical and creative phase with challenges in design, innovation, and communication, all represented in a project report and presented to an expert jury and a dynamic phase in which the performance, characteristics and design of the vehicles will be evaluated through slalom, acceleration, maximum braking and endurance tests. These tests will result in a set of prizes that will highlight the excellence of the teams in the different aspects of the competition analysis.
The championship is a platform for the training and promotion of technicians specialising in electric traction vehicles and promotes experimentation with new manufacturing techniques and the use of new materials. Participants will be able to meet the needs arising from a new mobility model, based on electric drive vehicles and emerging industrialisation models.
In the current academic year 23/24, the Somoracers team, made up of vocational training students from the automotive, telecommunications and marketing families, wants to reach the top in the EUSKELEC 2024 competition.
