ADU Future Mobility - Global Electric Vehicle Challenge

Sample Project

ADU Formula 1 Electric Vehicle

Sample Project

Powered by two batteries and four electric motors, each with 12 kW of power, this Formula 1 car was designed in collaboration with the university’s mechanical and electrical departments, with both under-and post-graduate students taking part in the designed and built an electric F1 vehicle that reached speeds of 160 km/h. The car was displayed at Automechanika Dubai as part of the Innovation4Mobility event, which explores trends in climate-neutral, connected, and autonomous mobility.

Faculty Research Incentive Grant

The purpose of this grant is to strengthen research capabilities at Abu Dhabi University. The grant provides funding for research projects that will elevate Abu Dhabi University’s reputation as a key UAE research institution.

The recipients of the Research Incentive Grant will be expected to publish the results of their work in a refereed journal/conference proceeding and to participate in ADU’s research conference.
