It is run by students and was founded at the Delft University of Technology in 2007 by Edgar van Os and has built 8 hydrogen fuel cell racing vehicles.
Over the coming years the team wants to develop its cars in such a way that they can compete in a Le Mans Prototype endurance series.
The most obvious differences of hydrogen-electric vehicles compared to their battery-electric relatives is the time required to recharge or refill, and the driving range.
This makes hydrogen-electric propulsion ideal for applications where non-stop operation and/or a long driving range is required.
Given the importance of the upcoming Hydrogen economy and considering climate change and oil related problems, the project draws a lot of attention from international media.
The second season consisted of a European Cup and a separate Grand Prix in the city center of Turin.
The Forze VII competed in the Supercar Challenge in 2017 during the Gamma Racing Days on the TT Circuit Assen.
In the 45-minute race, the Forze VII set the third fastest lap time in the Sports division, showing its potential.
On 3 October 2010 the team tried to break the world record held by the Formula Zero Mark II at 11.2 seconds.
With the help of the Knac National Autosport Federation (KNAF) a licensed track to FIA standards was put up.
With ex-Formula 1 driver Jan Lammers, they broke the fuel cell lap record by over a minute, which was previously owned by the Nissan FCV X-Trail concept.
On 17 December 2015, the full-size Forze VI obtained the fastest electric lap record on Circuit Zandvoort with driver and also team member Kevin Schreiber behind the wheel.
The driver, Charlie van der Schoor, was also more closely involved with the development of the Forze III.
For season 4 the team raced in the Formula Student (UK) competition and therefore needed more drivers to be able to compete in all the events.
