Atlas Copco: Powering KTH Formula Student’s Performance

Every year, KTH Formula Student works with the goal of competing at some of the most prestigious international Formula Student competitions, where not only the performance of our car is tested but also the ingenuity, problem-solving abilities, and collaborative spirit of our team members. These competitions serve as a platform for us to demonstrate our skills in engineering, innovation, and teamwork, all while competing against some of the brightest engineering minds in the world. We are therefore proud to have the support of some of Sweden’s leading companies, all of whose contributions play a vital role in our success, with one of the most significant being Atlas Copco.

Atlas Copco is a global leader in providing cutting-edge solutions in compressed air, vacuum technology, energy solutions, pumps, power tools, and assembly systems. The company’s innovative and forward-thinking approach has earned it a solid reputation as a trusted partner across a diverse range of sectors. These include automotive, general engineering, manufacturing, and process industries, among others. Through its commitment to reliability, safety, and efficiency, Atlas Copco has built a strong foundation, which has made them a preferred partner for businesses and companies worldwide.

Atlas Copco’s Impact on KTH Formula Student

Atlas Copco’s support extends far beyond providing us with cutting-edge tools. Their investment in our team, through both resources and expertise, has played a key role in enhancing our workflow and optimizing our manufacturing process. One of the most valuable assets they have provided us with is the Angle Cordless Nutrunner Tensor STB, a state-of-the-art tool that has become indispensable to our car assembly. This advanced tool delivers both precision and efficiency, which are crucial when building a high-performance race car. It has also significantly improved our ability to service the car trackside, ensuring that bolts are tightened to the correct torque settings quickly, safely, and reliably.
