Team Culture

The new logo is composed by a “电(electricity)”in traditional Chinese character and the bilingual team name. The color of ”电”was red, grand and clear-cut. The Chinese name is newly added after the discussion and vote among the whole team. Our team is aimed at becoming an international team which has English name first, but as a team from China, the Chinese name is also crucial.”同济电车队”simply demonstrates that we are a formula student team from Tongji University; When it comes to our English name,” DIAN Racing” is inspired by the pronunciation of “电”in Chinese, taking both domestic and abroad influences into consideration, which shows our team was founded in China and aimed at the world.
