The programme is designed for the world’s best and brightest science, technology, engineering and maths high school and university students to pit their wits against one another by designing the most energy-efficient vehicles they can.

Hundreds of teams from over 50 countries across three regions from around the world have taken part to put their theories into action whether it's through exciting virtual challenges or traditional mileage competitions on track; these teams are the heart and soul of the programme.

There are multiple energy categories available to power the team's cars, reflecting the real world need for a mosaic of energy options to power transport. The current energy categories are:

• Internal Combustion Engine​

• Battery Electric

• Hydrogen Fuel Cell
