The Vehicle Digital Laboratory was founded in 2009 with the aim of establishing an international student team at Southwest Jiaotong University that is benchmarked against Germany. By focusing on major events with significant influence, the laboratory aims to systematically cultivate students' abilities and become a breeding ground for high-end research and development talents, providing graduate reserve talents for the subsequent development of the entire team. Taking Formula Student China (FSC) as the main theme, the system trains students' abilities and adopts a reinforcement approach to compete in A-class events. In addition, we will conduct research on relevant competitions in countries such as Germany and Russia, collaborate with German language teachers and students to carry out "engineering+foreign language" teaching reforms, and cultivate students' international perspectives and abilities.

Since its establishment in 2009, we have selected outstanding students from freshmen every year and organized a teacher team to systematically train students for four years outside of class. Students have gained a lot of exercise, including 3D design, engineering drawings, computational simulation, manufacturing, testing technology, sensing technology, and data processing. On average, they have mastered at least 10 software types, such as SW/CATIA 3D software, Ansys/ABAQUS finite element analysis software, Adams/shock dynamic simulation, Origin data processing, Matlab/Simulink simulation, YoloV5 image processing, Proteus electronic circuits. Under this mode, more than 400 core talents have been trained, radiating to thousands of people. Among the students, a large number have been admitted for postgraduate studies, taken postgraduate entrance exams, and pursued further studies abroad, making them the core strength of major research institutes. Many students have grown rapidly in the industry and quickly become industry elites because they have been exposed to the technology required by industry enterprises since their early years.
