Just like in 2023, we had the privilege of participating in the international competition Shell Eco-Marathon Europe and Africa 2024, from May 19 to 24, in the “Urban Concept” category.[...]
Aerodynamic Studies
One of the first steps in the creation of our car is the development of CAD3D* models and the subsequent study of their aerodynamics. This is an iterative optimization process we are using to achieve the most aerodynamic and appealing design!
In the following clips one can see the results of two of these simulations (on two different prototypes) generated by a CFD* software. It is possible to observe the flow around the vehicle body, to identify the flow separation zones and at last, to obtain an aerodynamic drag coefficient (which we aim to minimize).

*CFD – Computational Fluid Dynamics
Shell Eco-marathon 2023
Shell Eco-marathon 2023 For the first time in TFC history, we had the pleasure of participating in the Shell Eco-Marathon competition. The 2023 edition of the Shell Eco-Marathon took place[...]
Rollout 2024
On March 28, in the main hall, the Rollout of the TFC01, our first prototype, took place. At this event, we had the honor of welcoming the President of Técnico,[...]
