Electraton MX

The EGS23A is the electric single-seater racing car for the TEC Racing – Electratón team, designed and built for the “ELECTRATÓN-2022” Series. This Competition consists in making the highest number of laps in 45 minutes, each season has races in different cities throughout Mexico and a demonstration race at the Mexico City Formula E-Prix.

Since 2021 I have been an engineer in charge of the design, construction and continuous development of the EGS23A. Throughout this time I have and supervised and directly worked on all vehicle subsystems, gaining valuable hands-on engineering experience and management-related soft skills. In this page I will briefly explain some of the development projects I have personally worked on.

Bodywork and Aerodynamics:
Throughout the manufacturing phase, I worked with composites and fibers to redesign our aero package, changing the bodywork to a single-piece design manufactured through an open mold fiberglass layup.

Chassis:
With the help of alignment jigs, I aided in welding the steel chassis. I have learned different welding techniques and different types of welds, such as MIG, TIG, and electric arc.

Suspension and Steering:
I started working in this area with the final touches of the design, creating technical drawings using GD&T. I was involved in the manufacture of these subsystems using machines like a lathe, milling machine, bandsaw, and MIG welding.

Drivetrain and Braking:
Our main task was manufacturing and modifying adequate couplers, steering knuckles, and brake discs to make our components compatible with commercial calipers, half shafts, and differentials.
