The NFPA Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge (FPVC) thrives because of the invaluable support of our Component and Pneumatic Sponsors. These organizations provide essential components and expertise, empowering student teams to develop critical skills and inspiring the next generation of fluid power professionals.
Component Sponsors supply key parts that enable students to design, build, and optimize their fluid power vehicles. This hands-on experience equips participants with technical knowledge and problem-solving skills that prepare them for real-world challenges. Pneumatic Sponsors contribute advanced technologies, exposing students to innovative tools and the versatility of fluid power systems across various applications.
Sponsorship is about more than providing components. Sponsors engage directly with students, offering mentorship and building connections that enrich the learning experience. These interactions often lead to career opportunities while showcasing sponsors’ commitment to workforce development and industry advancement. Program Sponsorship is exclusively available to Pascal Society donors, ensuring deep investment in the future of fluid power. Parker Hannifin, the program’s founding sponsor, laid the foundation for this initiative, and we are grateful for their continued leadership.
We extend our gratitude to the following companies for their contributions to the FPVC:
- Component Sponsors: Applied Fluid Power, IFP Motion Solutions Inc., IMI, SunSource
- Pneumatic Sponsors and Product Suppliers: Brennan Industries, Danfoss Power Solutions, Famic Technologies, Helios Technologies, HYDAC, Lubrizol, Source Fluid Power
- Founding Sponsor: Parker Hannifin
Looking ahead, there are many ways to get involved in the FPVC. Sponsorship, mentorship, or judging offers a direct opportunity to impact the future workforce and advance the fluid power industry. To learn more, contact us at workforce@nfpa.com.
