Sustainability
without compromise

What we do

TU/ecomotive is a student team at the University of Technology Eindhoven. With Luca, the sixth car of the TU/ecomotive family, we want to address the problem of waste in the world that keeps on growing. We want to show that waste can also be a valuable resource by making a car out of it!

Manage

The board takes care of all managerial tasks such as planning, strategy, logistics, marketing and much more.

Design

A core team of designers takes every little detail into account, one mistake could have major impacts on the final result.

Engineer

We start from scratch! Every part of the car is custom and needs to be precisely engineered by our students.

Create

The goal is to not only create a car, but also to create a story that inspires people from all over the world.

This is our Story

Twenty-two students, seven majors, one GOAL
