MOTOSTUDENT UNIZAR
What is Motostudent?
Competition Motostudent is a challenge between university engineering
student teams among Spain and other European universities. It consists of designing
and developing the prototype of a competition motorcycle. It also involves the creation
of an industrial project to manufacture 500 motorcycles a year with a maximum budget
of 4500 Euros per unit. Currently, as required by Dorna Sports (MotoGP organiser), the
prototype will use a 250 4T engine. Using such engine will adjust the competition to
the current category of the worldwide Moto3.
The competing universities will meet in sessions that will take place at
Motorland Aragon. Oven these sessions, the teams with prove their technical
development regarding innovation, creation and development.
The competition is both promoted and developed by Moto Engineering
Foundation (MEF). This organisation promotes the technological development in the
motorcycle sector in the lines of research, technical practice and training. These are the
companies that support this organisation

Outstanding businesses in the motorcycle sector also contribute to
Motostudent with the supply of a basic kit with the basic elements needed for the
design and development of the motorcycle.

Who are we?
Motostudent Unizar
In the third Motostudent edition, the team representing the University of
Zaragoza is made up of 15 students enrolled in the industrial engineering and degree of
mechanical engineering from the University of Engineering and architecture. Francisco
Moreno Gómez, Professor of the Univeristy of Zaragoza, who belongs to the Area of
Machines and Heat Engines, supervises such Project.
Motostudent Unizar aims to implement and develop our expertise to design,
fabricate and compete with a motorcycle, representing our University and Autonomous
Community on the international scene. It is an ambitious and complex project that
lasts for two years. Over this time, students will receive complementary training and
will face the business world with seriousness, commitment and motivation. Also, this
competition will Foster values that are needed in the current world of work such as
teamwork, management and optimization of resources, organizational capacity, selfimprovement, respect and personal effort.
In this third edition, the team members will continue the work carried out by
colleagues from this project previous editions, trying to improve the results achieved
and establishing the team as one of the most competitive ones in the competition. It is
worth mentioning that it is not just an illusion but also a reality in which great results
have been reached not only in competition but also in many end of career projects.
This is made possible by the means and support offered by the University, state
organisations, private companies and Vocational Training centres.

Background
For this new edition of the contest, we rely on the experience and support of
the teams that represented the University of Zaragoza in previous editions. In the first
contest there were two teams, which resulted in the first and third positions. The first
represented the school of Industrial Engineering and the third to the Centro Politécnico
Superior.
1st Edition Team (EUTIZ)
1st Edition Team (CPS)
In the Second Edition, the University presented a unique team that was created
after the unification of both centres at the School of Engineering and Architecture.
After holding a second position during the race, the team achieved the fourth place
crossing the finish line just two tenths of a second after the second qualified team .
2nd Edition Team
In both editions we obtained a great success, achieving the values and
expectations that the competition wanted to convey. However, these good results
would not have been possible without the support and financial contribution of
Aragonese businesses, which were deeply impressed by the impact that won over both
competitions.

Areas of expertise
The team is divided into different areas devoted to
certain specific aspects of the motorcycle, so a greater
specialization can be achieved. Members of the group take
part in different areas; they will work cooperatively to
achieve together the main target.
Some teammates will work on the
geometric definition of the bike, design of the
chassis and axle, they will also work the
modelling of the suspensions. Equally, they will
start the engine, measure the exhaustion pipe
and manufacture the components. Finally they
will carry out the industrial project with the
economic, feasibility and development surveys.
The whole of this project will be the result of the application of the
knowledge acquired in the classroom and tools used during the race. Likewise, there
will be a joint collaboration between the University and vocational training centres
creating a link between them. Vocational training students will put into practice those
skills learned helping the team manufacturing the prototype.

WORK SCHEDULE
In order to achieve satisfactory results in the contest, a schedule has been
designed including deadlines for milestones to reach.
These are the stages:
I. Team creation and registration.
II. Search for sponsorship and justification of sponsors.
III. Design development and simulation.
IV. Design finishing and prototype manufacturing
V. Trial and bike adjustment.
At the same time as the bike is being developed, the team will appear publicly
in the media to inform about the state of the project. They will also use these public
appearances to thank the support given by different organisations.
The contest will finish with the real competition at Motorland Aragón Circuit. At
this stage the following aspects will be assessed:
 Prototype test according to the regulations.
 Presentation of the industrial project: design, measuring, development and
manufacturing.
 Test bench.
 Race in track.

Benefits and impact
Previous editions had a great significance and media coverage in the region; this
was highly favoured by the location of Motorland circuit in our autonomous
community. Many media echoed the participation of different teams, such as: Antena
3, Aragón TV, Cadena Ser, Aragón Radio, Heraldo de Aragón and El Periódico de Aragón.
Similarly, numerous fans in motor world and politicians enjoyed the event in the circuit.
We are fully aware that in order to achieve this project we need more than our
will, sacrifice and work motivation, we also need also economic investment or in kind
donations that will help us cover the costs for the implementation of the project. As in
any other business, it is essential to get enough funding that will allow us to achieve
the proposed objectives. Therefore, anyone is welcome to be part of our team and
believe in a joint project.
In exchange, we can offer advertising for your company through these media:


Sponsoring Motostudent Unizar team will gets you advertising for two years at a
lower expense than conventional advertising. Moreover, supporting the University and
joint programmes with vocational training centres, which are responsible for the
manufacturing of the bike, will provide not only with economic benefit but will also
improve your business image by investing in future professionals.
Thanks to your cooperation, we will be able to position Aragonese industry and
engineering on the international scene, since both project and motorcycle are
completely made in our autonomous community. With the help of the surrounding
companies we can achieve this project together.
Also, sponsoring the team has tax benefits. Investment can be deducted from
the income statement and lower the taxes to pay.
