The SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge

Each year The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) organizes the "SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge". An intercollegiate design competition for undergraduate students from all over the world. The goal of the competition is to design a snowmobile that is more environmentally friendly than those currently available on the market. Pollution, noise levels, and energy consumption are all evaluated. Following the success of the McGill Electric Snowmobile at the previous competition, the next edition of the SAE Clean Snowmobiles Challenge, to be held in Michigan in March 2006 will have an all new Zero-Emission category.

Events:

  • Emissions Test
  • Fuel Economy/Endurance Test
  • Trailer sled towing test
  • Noise Event
  • Oral Design Presentation
  • Acceleration Testing Event
  • Cold Start Event
  • Static Display Event
  • Technology Implementation Cost Assessment
  • Handling/Drivability Event
  • Shock Input Test Event
  • Engineering Design Paper
