AMZ Racing& Computer Controls AG – Powering Peak Performance and World Records

As a long-standing partner and sponsor of AMZRacing, we at Computer Controls AG are proud to follow the technologicaldevelopment of this exceptional team over many years. AMZ Racing represents notonly innovation in Formula Student, but also outstandingperformance—impressively demonstrated by the official world record for thefastest acceleration of an electric car from 0–100 km/h in just 0.956seconds.

Alexander M. Hefele | CEO AMZ:
"Formula Student events push both the team and the equipment to thelimit. Especially in high-performance electronics, we rely on partners whoconsistently deliver perfect results under pressure. A great example are thebidirectional power supplies from ITECH, provided through our loyal sponsorComputer Controls. These instruments gave us a decisive advantage duringevents—reliable, precise, and powerful."

This project is driven not only by dedicatedstudents, sponsors, and supporters, but also by close collaboration with ETHZurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU).With its location at Innovation Park Zurich, AMZ Racing is embedded inone of Switzerland’s most important innovation ecosystems, surrounded byresearch, industry, and high-tech development.

In Formula Student,success depends not only on vehicle design and software but also on the qualityof development and test infrastructure. In the field of high-performance powerelectronics, stable, precise, and dynamic power supplies are essential—fromdevelopment and validation to testing bidirectional drivetrain systems.

That is why we activelysupport AMZ Racing with hardware for electronics development and testing,particularly with professional power supply solutions from our portfolio,including systems from Keysight, ITECH, GW Instek, and AimTTi. As anindependent and official distributor of electronic test and measurementequipment and power solutions, we see our role not only in supplying productsbut in equipping engineering teams with the right technology to solvereal-world challenges.
