ElettriCo by Formula-Zero
ElettriCo is a new generation, electric motorsport engineering startup. We design, build and integrate electric powertrains that replace combustion engines to electrically power go-karts, formula racing and track-day cars, and off-road vehicles like cross karts, beach buggies, etc. The ElettriCo powertrain platform is modularised, universal and built around an extreme energy-density lithium-ion battery pack with a quick-swap design, and a lightweight super-efficient motor. Our smart software drives power modulation and electrical safety control functions. Tested in tough racetrack conditions, the platform offers automotive-grade reliability, very high utilisation with near-zero down-time and substantially low operational costs. Our forward-thinking engineers constantly explore and research the boundaries of clean energy EV technology in the pursuit of assertive vehicle performance. We employ swift digital modelling, 3D printing and laser manufacturing, to quickly engineer new solutions to a global market. Our heart and soul are more than just our technology and resources. They’re also our passion for our mission and promise to our customers. ElettriCo is serious about superlative performance and eco-superiority.
