ENGYS announces a sponsorship partnership with the Delft Solar Team from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), a leading student-led solar racing initiative advancing sustainable mobility and engineering excellence.
The Delft Solar Team designs and builds high-performance solar cars to compete in international competitions such as the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, a biennial 3,000 km solar car race across the Australian outback from Darwin to Adelaide.
CFD is an important tool for the Delft Solar Team, helping engineers analyse airflow behaviour and optimise the aerodynamic performance of their solar car.
In 2025, the team secured the World Solar Challenge title, bringing home their eighth world championship after a close, strategically charged race.
This collaboration supports the team with HELYX, HELYX-Coupled and HELYX-Adjoint software, enabling advanced simulation workflows for aerodynamic and energy efficiency optimisation. ENGYS’s technical support aims to contribute to the development of pioneering solutions in solar-powered vehicle engineering.
