Team Raftaar

Team Raftaar is a team of undergraduate students of Delhi Technological University who share a common vision, i.e, to engrain the dynamic concept of Hybrid Vehicles in our day-to-day lives and thus, promote sustainable modes of transportation for a better world ahead. We design a fully Carbon Fibre faired recumbent bicycle to achieve speeds in excess of 80 kmph. The team consists of four departments: 1. Mechanical: Our mechanical engineers are the backbone of our team, employing precision and creativity to design ergonomic and high-performance recumbent bike structures, meticulously crafted for optimal functionality and comfort. Electrical: The electrical team elevates our bikes to the next level with state-of-the-art electronic systems. From energy-efficient powertrains to smart connectivity features. Software: Our software engineers bring intelligence to motion, developing cutting-edge algorithms and software solutions that enhance the overall biking experience. Corporate: Behind the scenes, our dedicated corporate team orchestrates the smooth functioning of operations. From strategic planning to resource management, they ensure that our vision is translated into reality.
