The URE18 is the third evolution for the 600V, flip-of-a-switch driverless concept. The car features various small enhancements compared to its predecessor, the URE17. With the main focus on increasing the reliability and testing time before competition. The car was finished the earliest in URE history, driving its first meters at the 18th of April, marking the start of a 3 month long testing phase before the first competition.​
