ALFOTEC gets into racing – and sponsors the Formula Student Team of Deggendorf University

3. June 2015

What does racing have to do with ALFOTEC conveyor technology? Well, at first sight nothing. At second glance it does: Because we promote both the success of our customers and good ideas. In this specific case we donated one of our movable lifting tables to the Formula Student Team of the University of Applied Sciences Deggendorf. It enables the team to work ergonomically and back-friendly during repairs, maintenance and care of the racing car.

The Formula Student – what is it anyway?

The Formula Student is a racing series in which about 500 student teams from all over the world compete against each other. This international competition is about developing and building a race car that can go as fast as possible. But even more important is to reflect the idea and the construction behind and inside the racing car. And to justify this before a jury consisting of renowned engineers from the automotive industry. One of the most important Formular Student races takes place every year at the end of July/beginning of August in Hockenheim. Of course we will loudly support Fast Forest and Jenny at the race track!

Do you know Jenny? – The story of the form student team

The Form Student Team “Fast Forest” was founded in 2008 by a few students of the Technical University Deggendorf. Only one year later the team was able to present its first race car. And christened it with the name Jenny. Today Fast Forest already has over 100 members. Half of them are active, the other half are alumni.

Vital for survival: volunteer members and sponsors
To keep such a project alive, Fast Forest needs the support of volunteer members like any other Formula Student team. And as many sponsors as possible. With our movable lifting table, which enables the team to work faster and more ergonomically on “Jenny”, we are joining a number of well-known companies and brands such as Opel, ZF and Fronius. We will closely follow the further development of Jenny. And we wish Fast Forest continued success!
