In conjunction with the 24th Electric, Fuel Cell and Hybrid Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition, we are proud to invite you to participate in the EVS Viking Rally, a race for battery electric, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen vehicles.

The  route  goes  from  Oslo to  Stavanger  along    Norway’s scenic southern and western coast, through varied landscapes perfectly suited for testing and demonstrating the real-life practical use of renewable energy vehicles. 
With this rally we aim to show the public and decision makers that hydrogen, plug-in hybrid and battery electric cars are roadworthy alternatives, and  to inspire manufacturers, researchers, students and others to further improvement of the technology.

The rally will test the performance of the vehicles and the skills of the teams through several special stages along the route, testing manoeuvrability, fuel consumption, acceleration and other vital attributes. The rally is open to all road legal hydrogen, plug-in hybrid and battery electric cars.

About EVS24

The International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exposition (EVS) series, organized by the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA), is recognized as the premier event for academic, government and industry professionals involved in electric drive technologies.

The World Electric Vehicle Association unites the European Association for Battery, Hybrid and Fuelcell Electric Vehicles (AVERE), the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) and the Electric Vehicle Association of Asia Pacific (EVAAP).

The EVS series began in 1969 as an academic forum for global networking and the exchange of technical information. As electric drive technologies progressed from the classrooms and laboratories into the marketplace, EVS blossomed into an event both academic and business oriented.

Today, the EVS series is recognized as the global electric transportation industry's premier and largest forum, showcasing all forms of technologies in the market place and on the drawing boards--from low speed battery electric vehicles to fuel cell electric buses. The event attracts academic, government and industry leaders from around the world who are interested in exploring and understanding the technical, policy and market challenges to a paradigm shift toward use of electric transportation technologies.
