SIA Trophy
From 2003 to 2013, EPSA took part in the SIA Trophy, a competition organized by the Société des Ingénieurs de l'Automobile. Students from French engineering schools competed with prototypes of ecological vehicles.
The cars were rated by a jury made of profesionals from the automotive field during two kind of events: static and dynamic events.

Dynamic events
There are 4 dynamic events : a braking test, a handling test, a 45-minutes consumption race and 1100m track in which participants must use their non-thermal motorisation.
The fourth event is called "Zero emission event" and imposes to the vehicles a non-thermal motorisation.
The rules emphasizes the innovation aspect so that it stimulates the imagination of the futur engineers.
