One of Norway’s most impressive student organisations, Revolve NTNU, has since 2010 designed and developed an electric racing car from scratch.

The team consists of 70 students from over 20 different majors – and competes in Formula Student, against some of the world’s best technical universities.

FORMULA STUDENT

Formula Student is an international engineering competition where student teams from universities around the world design, build and test a single-seater racing car within a given budget.

The competition has both static exercises that assess the business plan and design, and dynamic exercises where the car’s performance is tested on a track.

Formula Student challenges for excellence in both theoretical and practical aspects of engineering and business management – and the car must drive both manually and autonomously.

A WORLD CLASS TEAM

The Formula Student 2025 season is now over for Revolve, and this summer this year’s racing car, VEGA, has been out in Europe and brought home many great trophies in Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany.

Last year, Revolve won its first overall victory in the Netherlands.

This year they won their first overall victory in the autonomous part of the competition (driverless) in the Czech Republic, and came 3rd overall with a driver in the same competition.

In total, Revolve can look back on a total of 17 podiums from the three competitions.

E³.series

CCS and Zuken E³.series have been able to help sponsor the team with E³.series licenses, which according to Ruben Flatås (Electrical System Engineer, Revolve NTNU) has been very important for the progression to Revolve’s last two cars.

“We built on the concept from the previous year, with E³.formboard and installation of the wiring network outside the car. With the experience from 2024, the car was built at record speed in 2025, and the car was already running at the end of April – a month earlier than ever before.

This is largely thanks to the fact that we had E³.series as a tool.”

Wiring harness production has always been the major bottleneck and previously required 4–6 weeks per car.

With the help of E³.series, the wiring harness is now produced outside the car, and inserted into the car in just a few minutes when the car is back from production in Kongsberg. You no longer need physical access to the car to be sure that the wiring harness will fit.
