Conference for professors, project presentations, city parade and exciting races were part of the 3-day program this time too. The rain spared the racers, but not the teacher and the VIP race, so our invited guests could test the pneumobils on the slippery racing track.

On the podium were BME teams, Technics 1 and Technics 4 from Estonia, Riga Fresh and Riga Airmobile from Technical University of Riga, and Falcon and Javelin from the Technical University of Brno.

Story of the Pneumobile started in 2008, when the ancestors of Aventics Hungary Kft., named Bosch Rexroth Pneumatika Kft. and Bosch Rexroth Kft. organized the first competition. Back then, it was located at the factory’s park in Eger.

Inventors of the competition Ferenc Bolyki, Richárd Fü­lep, Endre Tamás, József Avar and László Szabó are engineers working at the firms mentioned above. They wanted to create a technical event where future engineers have the opportunity to inspect the mysteries of pneumatics and get acquainted with alternative applications of the products made in Eger. This is how the idea of the Pneumobile competition were born.

In 2008, 18 teams from 12 Hungarian universities entered the competition. 16 teams managed to build a working vehicle, the best of them were the engineers from University of Debrecen. Teams from College of Kecskemét, University of Miskolc, University of West Hungary, Szent István University, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest College of Technology also made it to the podium.
