We've compiled a national 2024 HPV and EEV events calendar to help demonstrate the breadth and depth of interest in human powered and energy efficient vehicles across Australia. These include events in Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia. We at the Energy Breakthrough see these 'other events' as great learning and capacity building opportunities - especially for young people - but for designers, builders, riders, race officials, volunteers and more.
The 2024 Energy Breakthrough Handbook, 2024 HPV and EEV Vehicle Specifications, and HPV and EEV Trial Regulations are now available for download.
