The world needs the Delsbo Electric-way
more than ever
Delsbo Electric is about collaboration, empathy and ingenuity.
That’s what the world needs more of right now.
Delsbo Electric has been moved to a date when it’s hopefully safe to run the competition.
But that doesn’t mean we are waiting for better times.
We want to create those better times.
Delsbo Electric is a platform for creativity, hope and happiness that we have built together with students
over many years. Everything we have learned from Delsbo Electric over the years can and should be put to
use to help us push through these difficult times.
So, here is a challenge and a question addressed to You: Given the new state of a world riven by a pandemic,
how can we make use of Delsbo Electric as a tool to solve new and pressing problems?
We continue our drive for the future, because we think it’s the right thing to do.
We hope you want to join us on our slightly bumpy journey.
Stay safe!
Lars Gustavsson & Paul Bogatir
The spirit of Delsbo Electric is ever present and that is the most important thing we can offer the world.
During the competition young, talented and energetic engineers create the world’s most energy efficient
vehicles with very few resources under tight deadlines. Now the world has many difficult problems
to solve; global resources are often scarce, and we have to move fast. Together.

Purpose
The purpose of Delsbo Electric is to drive the transformation to a more sustainable
world through the engagement of tomorrow’s creative minds.
Task
To design, build and drive a manned, electrified rail vehicle. The most energyefficient
vehicle wins.
Delsbo Electric is open for applications from university teams all over the world. Chalmers University of
Technology, Luleå University of Technology, Dalarna University and Linköping University will compete in 2020.

Eximus IV
Dalarna University has set the world
record in energy efficiency for three consecutive
years. Their latest vehicle is built
on a light-weight carbon frame that’s
wrapped in aeronautical foil. The wheels
are fitted with low friction bearings.
Eximus IV is tested in a wind-tunnel and
its driving pattern has been optimized for
the Delsbo Electric race-course.

YES WE CAN !
Road transport in
uses 80 TWH of fossil fuel per
year. That is the equivalent of
47 million barrels of oil !
Vehicles that use less than
1 Wh per person per kilometre
are inducted to the . . .
The energy consumption 0.603 Wh per person
per km is the energy equivalent of 0.066 ml of
petrol per person per km. If your car
had that consumption you would be
able to drive 15 000 km with one
litre of petrol !

If all vehicles in

Visiting university students become important role-models for local kids at Delsbo Electric. During the
competition we offer fun activities for kids of all ages - simple games for the youngest and more
tech-heavy games for older kids.

HHK Innovation Award 2019:
Levitas, Chalmers University of Technology
”It’s been really fun for us to come to Delsbo and meet the people behind Delsbo Electric. We hope that Chalmers University of Technology continues
to participate. We have met with and been inspired by many great people – especially the guys from HHK that gave us very practical advice that we will
pass on to next year’s team”.

Who dares wins!
HHK Innovation Award rewards
teams who are willing to take risks,
who dare to think outside the box
and who can point out the future
for others. HHK Innovation Award
inspires the participants of Delsbo
Electric to think differently so they
can help show what the next generation
of vehicles might look like.
The Innovation Award is presented
by a jury consisting of the foremost
technology experts in the Hudiksvall
Hydraulics Cluster (HHK) and
it is announced during the Delsbo
Electric banquet. The winners are
invited to come to Hudiksvall for
some great days filled with
awesome food, heaps of fun
and great, new technology.
