Metropolia Motorsport sponsorship is part of KLINGER Finland’s commitment to technological development, a sustainable future, and supporting the next generation of engineers. We proudly sponsor Metropolia Motorsport, a Formula Student team operating as a research, development, and innovation project at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.
A student-driven high-tech development project
Metropolia Motorsport operates as a research, development, and innovation project at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. The team has been building cars for the international student series since the early 2000s.
Since 2013, the focus has been entirely on the development and production of electric cars in order to keep up with the technological shift away from combustion engines.
The idea of the competition is to design and build a new improved vehicle each year to compete internationally with other universities in various dynamic and static events. The dynamic events range from acceleration tests to an approximately 22-kilometer endurance section. The static events evaluate areas such as the cost of manufacturing the car, the structure of the carbon footprint, and presentations on the design decisions of individual components. The competitions are judged by industry professionals and representatives from leading universities.
Reliable gaskets for a competitive electric car
KLINGER Finland proudly sponsors the Formula Student team. The electric car has several critical areas that require gaskets, and the failure of even a seemingly minor gasket could result in the car not finishing the race.
Formula Student cooperation is not just about speed. Points are also awarded for the quality of the car’s design, engineering decisions, and overall execution. Success in the competition is built on careful planning, reliability, and attention to detail — values that are also central to KLINGER Finland’s operations.
Why Metropolia Motorsport sponsorship is important to us?
Metropolia Motorsport sponsorship supports three key themes for us:
- Environmentally friendly development: The electric race car and continuous improvements in energy efficiency support sustainable technology and a lower-emission future.
- Supporting future talents: This student-driven project enables young engineers to apply theory in practice. We want to support and encourage the next generation of industrial professionals.
- High-tech innovation focused on improving reliability: The project combines innovation, precision, and continuous development — all with reliability at its core.
Cooperation that builds the future
Metropolia Motorsport sponsorship is a concrete example of how industry and education can work together. Formula Student cooperation brings together student innovation and industrial experience, creating a strong foundation for future technological solutions.
