Formula Hybrid International Competition

Formula Hybrid challenges college and university students to design, build, and compete high-performance hybrid and electric vehicles. Building on the Formula SAE program, Formula Hybrid adds an extra level of complexity: fuel efficiency.

With technological challenges for students with backgrounds in electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering, Formula Hybrid encourages interdisciplinary teamwork and innovation.

New for 2012: Formula Hybrid has created the Electric Category. See the 2012 Competition page for details.

The dates for the 2012 Competition are Monday, April 30 through Thursday, May 3, 2012. It will be held at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Loudon, NH.

The Formula Hybrid International Competition was founded by Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth in 2006. Thayer School runs the event each year, and the competition carries the endorsement of the Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc. (SAE) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE).
