Hybrid Formula SAE Cars Controller System Design for SAE Rules 2024–2025 | University Project

The Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) competition challenges students to design and build high-performance race cars, and with the new SAE Rules 2024–2025, hybrid systems are taking center stage. In this video, we’ll explore the design of a Hybrid Formula SAE Controller System, showing how electronics, control engineering, and automotive design work together.

In this video, you’ll discover:
✅ What the new SAE 2024–2025 rules require for hybrid Formula SAE cars
✅ How a hybrid controller system is designed and implemented
✅ Step-by-step breakdown of electronic control units (ECUs), sensors, and power management
✅ Real-world applications in automotive engineering and hybrid vehicles

This project is ideal for engineering students, SAE competitors, and automotive enthusiasts who want to explore the future of hybrid racing technology.

Question for you: Do you think hybrid technology is the future of motorsports, or will fully electric racing take over? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

The project story: This student project is part of the Faculty of Engineering, Islamic University of Madinah. Students presented their course projects and senior design projects during the faculty event in Summer 2025. The project is jointly managed by the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments.
