Formula Student Team UTM

What did participating in Tekwill Expo 2025 mean for the Formula Student Team UTM?

This was our first official appearance of 2025. We chose this event, Tekwill Expo, to showcase our current technical progress and present the results of our design and manufacturing work. It was the ideal setting for the Formula Student Team UTM to demonstrate that we can transform complex concepts into real hardware components, ready for the track.

Which components of our single-seater did we showcase for the first time at the booth?

We presented the fundamental components of our new single-seater to the public. Visitors were able to examine the chassis and bodywork firsthand—essential elements for the vehicle’s structure and aerodynamics. The centerpiece was the engine, the powertrain optimized by the team to ensure maximum performance. Showcasing these components validated our ability to build high-precision systems in-house.

Who visited our booth at Tekwill Expo?

At the Formula Student Team UTM booth, we had the opportunity to speak directly with Dorin Recean, Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, and Doina Nistor, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization. We presented the technical progress of the single-seater and explained the engineering solutions applied to the engine and chassis.

The presence of these officials at the Formula Student Team UTM booth underscores the importance of the technical projects developed by students for the future of the local industry.

Who supports our performance?

Building a Formula Student single-seater is a collective effort that extends beyond the walls of our workshop, resulting from strong partnerships with industry leaders. Tekwill Expo 2025 provided the official setting to showcase the community of sponsors supporting our team’s vision.

Our sponsors do not merely provide resources; they become an integral part of the development process, offering access to materials, mechanical components, and financial resources that enable us to compete with top teams globally. It is this close collaboration that transforms our ambitious projects into on-track performance and ensures the constant evolution of the single-seater.

What is the conclusion of this first event in 2025?

Participating in Tekwill Expo confirmed that the Formula Student Team UTM delivers successful results. We leave this event with all the resources needed to move on to the next stage. We are now focusing on final assembly and preparing for dynamic track testing to achieve the goals set for this season.
