ecoRZ
2016

In 2016, in which the objective was to continue evolving the 100% electric concept of the ecoRZ, UPC ecoRacing travelled to the Formula Student, where the 2016 ecoRZ won the Most Efficient Car Award and achieved the third overall position among electric cars. The great potential that the single-seater showed at the United Kingdom was confirmed at the Formula Student Germany, where the Most Efficient Car Award was won for a second time in a row. The season ended at the Formula Student Spain, where the team won the Best Spanish Team Award, among more than 25 state participating teams. 

We finish this season with a huge logistic challenge: to be the first European team with an electric vehicle to participate on the Formula Student Australasia, which took place in Melbourne, where the best oriental teams compete. All the effort paid off, as the team achieved the first position on the electric category and being also the most awarded team of the competition.

With the successes achieved on previous competitions, UPC ecoRacing was on the seventh position on the electric vehicles World Ranking of the Formula Student.
