October, 2016

PowerTech Systems is glad to be a part of ESTACA Engineering School speed record project: Estaca On The Salt !

Speed Record

The goal ? Building a 100% electric car capable to beat the World record of 343Km/h (213.084 MpH), and, why not, to exceed 400km/h.

PowerTech Systems will design a lightweight battery with very high discharge capabilities (250kW peak power!) to help the team to beat this record.
