With operations in 30 countries and sales of 1.28 billion Euros in 2010, FCI - a leading manufacturer of connectors - has signed a partnership with Formulec to sponsor its first fully electric single seater.
Around Formulec are gathered diverse skills coming from the world of the Formula 1, these companies designed what is currently the fastest Electric Formula Racing Car.
The car, powered solely by electricity, already delivers astonishing performances accelerating from 0 to 100 kph in 3 seconds and pursues an objective of 250 kph top speed. To achieve that level of performance, Formulec counts on a selection of the best-in-class technical partners.
To transmit power from the battery to the electric engine, the car’s interconnection system relies on FCI’s recognized hi-performance connector from the EV/HEV vehicle Power.S3 range, namely the RCS800. FCI has lead upfront developments to provide the automotive industry with one of the smallest, most reliable solutions addressing the high current and high voltage (250A/400-800V) DC connection for the battery, junction box and inverter for instance.
In 2011, FCI will accompany Formulec whilst introducing the car throughout the world in numerous international events and showcases. No later than in 2012, the project is to set up the first full-electric single-seaters races.
