Welcome to greenBEARWe are the Formula Student team of the UAS Berlin!Initially started in 2006, the project has seen many members over the course of time who have produced a total of 13 race cars. After a brief pause of two years (2020 - 2022) however, the team has now been newly founded.With new members and a new approach, we want to build on previous achievements. Therefore, we are constructing the second fully electric Formula Student car in the history of our university. With that, our goal is no less than to stir up the Formula Student events across Europe and beyond!On this website you will find all information about our team and our project.Let's get started!

YOUR PLACE IN OUR TEAM



Electrical

The Electrical team is all about the development and integration of the electrical systems of the race car. This includes the electric drive train, the battery system, the engine control unit as well as the entire sensor system used to monitor and control the vehicle.
The team develops the complete wire harness, programmes the control units and
optimises the energy efficiency to ensure that the vehicle delivers at maximum performance with minimum energy consumption.
The topic of safety also plays a major role: the electrical team is responsible for protective mechanisms such as overcurrent protection and insulation monitoring. In addition, modern technologies such as telemetry are used to monitor real time data and the vehicle performance during the race.

Mechanical

The Mechanical Team is responsible for all mechanical and structural components of the vehicle. This includes the design and construction of the chassis, suspension, brakes and steering, as well as the aerodynamics of the vehicle. The aim is to develop a light, strong and safe vehicle that can compete with a maximum performance in all disciplines of the competition.
In addition, materials and manufacturing techniques are chosen carefully to optimise the car and meet the stability, weight and performance requirements.
The integration of mechanical systems with the electrical components plays an important role, especially in regard to the interfaces between the engine and suspension.

Operations

The Operations Team is the backbone of the team by taking care of all non-technical aspects of the project.
The tasks of the operations team include project management, the planning and coordination of tasks and milestones, as well as monitoring schedules and budgets.
An essential component is also the maintenance of sponsor and partner relationships: Sponsorship concepts are are developed, presentations are prepared and negotiations take place in order to secure financial and material support. Added to this are the organisation of events, the logistics for the participation in Formula Student Events and marketing in order to promote the team and its successes.
Operations ensures that the team is able to work well structured and that all resources are utilised optimally.

High-Voltage Battery & Powertrain

Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft und das Studierendenparlament der HTW Berlin

The Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft (HTW) Berlin is the biggest public University of applied Sciences (UAS) in Berlin with its 14,000 Students and over 500 employees. There are around 70 majors to choose from in the study fields of Technology and Engineering, IT, Economics, Culture and Design. GreenBEAR primarily works on the Campus Wilhelminenhof near the river Spree, which is one of the two campuses the UAS has to offer. There we are able to use different facilities of the university for our garage, to manufacture parts and work together in an office. Furthermore, many professors and employees of the university help us with their expertise if we have any questions.
Thanks to the HTW we are able to go to different fairs like the Transferale and show our project to more people and also within the student body we share our knowledge with others via workshops.

The Student Parliament (StuPa) of the HTW Berlin is similar to the legislative body of the students. It is their task to represent the student body’s opinions and concerns, and therefore take their perspectives into account during the decision making process. In addition to that the StuPa is voting for our university’s executive body, the General Student Committee called the AStA. It is their goal to make the time at HTW Berlin as pleasant and successful as possible.

MotionLab Berlin

The MotionLab Berlin is a co-working space, a maker-space, has tech experts, private offices and workshops. The members have access to a multitude of professional machines, co-working spaces, startup accelerators, workshops and many startup services for a number of different fields such as 3D printing, laser cutting, as well as electronics, CNC, textile, wood and metal workshops.

We are able to use their Makerspace and the multitude of machines they have there, join different workshops to extend our skills and knowledge, and have the possibility to support the MotionLab during their events. Primarily we use their CNC milling machines, laser cutters, 3D printers, welding machines, lathe machines, drill router and different machines for the processing of metals (bending and sandblasting).

Steingross Feinmechanik

Uwe Steingross GmbH & Co. KG. was founded in 1990 by Uwe Steingross. They specialize in CNC-lathed parts and CNC-milled parts for prototypes as well as serial production. The company is a holisticsystem supplier, that means that they develop the parts using different software, manufacture the parts, refine the surfaces and finally assemble or install them. Their expertise and experience with different materials and processing procedures enable them to help their customers during the construction phase, the choice of the best materials and the best manufacturing techniques.

Steingross manufactures many of our CNC- milled parts. Moreover, their experts support us during the construction phase by analysing our parts and suggesting how they can be improved in terms of manufacturability as well as the choice of materials.

Altium - PCB Design Software

Altium, founded 1985 in Australia, is one of the first developers of design tools for PCBs and currently the industry leader with more than 100.000 users world wide.

We are using the Altium Designer as well as Altium 365 to share the PCBs in the cloud system for a structured collaboration. Altium lets us design not only all our PCBs in 2D and 3D but all of the corresponding circuit diagrams, component placements and the routing.

Dspace

dSPACE (Digital Signal Processing And Control Engineering) is a German electronics and software company, that is based in Paderborn. They provide a wide range of solutions for the development of electric, driverless and connected vehicles. Those are used primarily for the development as well as testing of different hard and software components before the newest model hits the street. However, not only car manufacturers use their technologies but also aerospace and industrial automation companies are their customers.

We use their MicroAutoBox III and the MicroAutoBox III - Embedded PC for our Formula Student race cars. The MicroAutoBox III is our VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) and therefore used for the vehicle control and in the future also the torque vectoring. The MicroAutoBox III - Embedded PC on the other hand is used for data logging as well as telemetry and has great potential to become our driverless main control centre in future seasons.
