The carbon chassis of an electrically-powered go-kart has been produced entirely in VAP® technology by the StudKart student initiative at Stuttgart University. Thanks to use of a VAP® membrane system by Trans-Textil, the complex geometry of the CFRP sandwich structure frame was infused without occurrence of any dry spots. The interdisciplinary StudKart work group makes use of the latest developments in the electromobility field and develops innovative ideas of its own. Thanks to the hybrid construction of the carbon chassis, a weight savings of 40 percent has been achieved compared to the previous model. The whole project has been conceived and realized by the students at their own initiative.
