CELE VAN DEN HAUTE
(International Student Senate 2010-2011)

TEAM LEADER CQS GROUP T RACING TEAM, GROUP T UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, BELGIUM

Cele Van den Haute is a master's student of Industrial Sciences Electromechanics and a postgraduate student at the international college GroupT in Leuven, Belgium.  Because of her passion for transportation technology and renewable energy she founded the CQS GroupT racing team with 31 other master's students. The goal of the team is to develop a hybrid and electric drivetrain. These technologies are demonstrated in two race cars; Pegasus, the demonstrator of the hybrid drivetrain and Odyssee, which promotes an electric drivetrain. Last year Cele led the Pegasus team and was also responsible for the hybrid drive train. She was thrilled when Pegasus was placed 3rd in the experimental class of the 24h02' of Spa Francorchamps for 2CV. This year Cele is head of the marketing department for both race cars.

By leading the team Cele wants to create awareness for a green future. This sport is normally associated with performance and excitement, but also with noise and environmental damage. CQS Group T Racing Team wants to prove that the same fun can also be experienced in an ecologically sound way. Finishing both her postgraduate program and a master's degree this year she's looking to enlarge her leadership and management skills by obtaining a place on a master's program abroad.
