20 October

• For Students
• General opportunities

Interested in sustainable innovation, teamwork, and community impact? Join a student team to design, build and race a solar-powered electric tricycle in the 2027 Trophée Vhélio edition. You'll race in May 2027, from Rouen (France) to Hastings (UK).

The Trophée Vhélio is an exciting opportunity to put your skills into practice while exploring the future of sustainable mobility.

We're bringing together students from different disciplines to create a unique solar-powered electric vehicle and race it with hundreds of others in France in May 2027.

Whether you're interested in design, sports, engineering, sustainability, communications, fundraising, French... or simply want to learn something new, there's a place for you on the team. No previous experience is required.
