HTL Steyr celebrates double victory at the Zero Emission Challenge

in Weiz there was recently an exciting event that put the technical competence of schoolchildren to test. The HTL Steyr had a remarkable success and triumphed in the nationwide "Zero Emission Challenge". It was the first time that the two mechanical engineering teams took part in this competition, and right from the start they secured an outstanding double victory.

The competition was geared towards the topic of emission-free mobility and offered the students the platform to demonstrate their technical know-how. The participants had to prove themselves in various disciplines by sending them into the race themselves developed or optimized. These karts were equipped with environmentally friendly drives, such as electric motors or fuel cells. The preparation not only included dynamic tests such as accelerating races and endurance tests on the demanding route of the ARBÖ driving safety center Ludersdorf, but also static exams. Technical evaluations and English -language presentations were required here to a specialist jury in which the students explained the way their vehicles work.

great achievements of the HTL Steyr

The two teams of the HTL Steyr harmonized and achieved top ratings in all categories. With the support of committed teachers and a pronounced team spirit, they managed to lead the field of 23 teams leadership. The result was impressive: first place and second place in the overall ranking. One participant described: "The atmosphere was electrifying. It almost felt like in Formula 1 between the fun and the last optimizations in the box."

This success is not only a testimony to the high quality of training at the HTL Steyr, but also an important sign for young people who can appear as future engineers and developers in the field of sustainable mobility. Participation in such a demanding competition will certainly offer you valuable experience for your future career. In times when environmental protection and the reduction of emissions are becoming increasingly important, the commitment of the students is of the greatest importance.
