Info
Formule Polytechnique Montréal (FPM) has designed and built Formula Student vehicles since 1984. The team is comprised of around 40 volunteer students from Polytechnique Montrea;. Starting in 2021, the team has made the switch to an all-electric powertrain. With a renewed focus on vehicle reliability, the team will compete in the United States, Switzerland, Hungary, and Germany for the 2024 season.

Info
The Formule Électrique de Polytechnique Montréal is a new small (±8 members) team founded in 2009. We chose the FSG 2012 to be our first competition ever because of the high concentration of heavily qualified judges and organizers, the presence of the world's best teams, for the incredible presence of sponsors, for the red shirts (!) and because amazing atmosphere on and around of the Hockenheimring. We are apparently the first American (read North + South American) team trying to compete in an Formula SAE/Student Electric outside the Americas! Ouf! We believe in the learning experience of the electric vehicles design and of its world's impact. We decided to give away the totality of our designs to the community through opensource licences in order to allow a maximum of collaboration and to extend the learning experience. Our goal: to reduce GHGs. Our lever: the transportation electrification education. "Well done is better than well said" - B. Franklin
