Forze Hydrogen Electric Racing is a team of students from the Delft University of Technology who design, build and race fuel cell racing cars to promote hydrogen technology.
Their Forze racing cars are the first hydrogen electric powered cars in the world to compete with ordinary petrol or diesel fuel cars.
Airborne has helped delivered the composite bodywork of the Forze VIII car and is proud to announce it is continuing its sponsorship for the build of Forze IX.
The efficiency of the fuel conversion of the Forze VIII is about two to three times higher than a conventional combustion engine.
For their next car, Forze IX, the team want it to be at least twice as powerful as the current car. At Airborne we believe ideas and ambitions like these will help the world become a more sustainable place. Therefor we will continue to provide Forze Hydrogen Electric Racing with technical support and space at the Airborne Digital Factory for Composites facility in Ypenburg.
This means that the Forze team will have access to auxiliary materials, an autoclave machine, a flat-table, ovens, vacuum pumps, a CNC-milling machine and more to produce all composite components and bodywork panels for the Forze IX race car.
