To build your race car you need a part what can be bought on the public market for 400 EUR per piece. Your plan is to sell 950 race cars the next five years. If you will manufacture the part by yourself, you need an investment of 400.000 EUR for the installation. Furthermore, you need to pay 20.000 EUR per year for the machine operator. The material costs are 70 EUR per piece. The machine cannot be sold after the usage. What is the cost of one piece of the own manufactured parts? Give answer as one whole number

How many percentage of points is the Cost Understanding in the Overall Cost and Manufacturing Event?

Which of these HV- and LV-components have to be fire-retardant? (Multiple Choice)

Which of the following statements about LV battery packs with lithium based chemistry other than LiFePo4 is not true?

How much current flows when 99 C passes down a wire in 11 s? Give answer in amps as a whole number.

Your head of powertrain has found a battery cell with excellent specifications and yet cheap. He decides upon a 142s2p accumulator configuration using the cells with a capacity of 5.8 Ah. The manufacturer specifies an internal impedance of 1.5 mOhm. However, after a while you notice the cells are of horrible quality and their real capacity varies significantly leading to an unbalanced accumulator.

He performed experiements to find an approximation of the cells SoC relation to their open-circuit voltage (EMF) as shown in the following figure:

Assume due to imbalance, exactly half of the accumulators cells are at 40% SoC and half at 80% SoC. What current will be drawn at the maximum allowed power usage? Give answer in Amps to nearest whole number

The following processes have to be measured by the AMS. (Multiple choice)

Three inductors are connected as shown in the following figure:

Given that L1 = 2L2, find L1 and L2 such that the equivalence inductance is L = 0.7 H.
Give your answers in Henry, rounded to three decimal places separated by a comma (L1, L2)

Which of the following statements about the Tractive System Accumulator are wrong? (Multiple choice)

The previous season you could recuperate only 27% of your initially stored energy, but this season a big improvement in your drivetrain allows you to recuperate 69% of the initially stored energy.  Knowing that you had 6.3 kWh of energy in your accumulator during the last season, how much energy must your new accumulator have, if you assume, that it’s the same length and speed? Give answer in kWh

Which of the following requirements of the brake light assembly must be met to be rules compliant? (multiple choice)

Give answer in kWh to one decimal place.

During last year acceleration a top speed of 100 km/h was reached. Due to big improvements in the new drivetrain, the new vehicle reaches a top speed of 120 km/h. The aerodynamics chief has some worries about the stability of the rear wing bracing due to the higher aerodynamics load. Given the geometry below, by how much % does the bearing force in point A change in comparison to last year? (The aerodynamic package did not change and therefore some values can be assumed for both vehicles). Give answer rounded to one decimal place.

CL=3.8     CD=1.2     A=1 m²     rho=1.1 kg/m³     L1=50 mm     L2= 100 mm     H1= 125 mm     H2= 165mm
