New Technology

The latest state-of-the-art technology enables Team Nasamax to distinguish itself from the rest of the field in two critical areas:

1

Enhanced efficiency and Bio-Ethanol fuel

  O2Empower's technologies enable Team Nasamax to distinguish itself from its competitors by the use of Bio-Ethanol fuel and enhanced efficiency, operating the LMP1 Sports Prototype on alternative bio-fuels and producing power at the levels that Nasamax needs to compete effectively against some of the best fossil-fuel powered motor vehicles in the world.
2

Advanced fire safety

  ASTEK technologies, developed for the commercial aviation industry, are used in the LMP1 Sports Prototype to prevent and suppress fire. Using innovative fuel storage and handling systems, a blanket of inert nitrogen covers the fuel in the fuel storage tank.
