OUR VEHICLE FROM 2017
After designing and building six successful prototypes, in 2017 TUfast Eco Team developed for the first time an Urban Concept – muc017. It competed in the EducEco in Valenciennes, France in May 2017 and in the same month at the Shell Eco Marathon Europe in London, Great Britain.
TUfast Eco’s first Urban Concept Car is one step closer towards highly efficient, roadworthy electric vehicles. In addition to its efficiency, muc017 also features lighting, weather resistance, a comfortable sitting position, and a baggage compartment.
