During the “five days” of Formula SAE Italy 2024, approximately 1,600 students from all over the world will gather in the heart of the Emilian motor valley. 19 countries and 63 universities, representing 67 university teams: 52 from the European Union (21 Italians from 18 universities) and 15 non-EU. The four classes of participation include:
- Class 1EV: electric cars, with 34 participating teams.
- Class 1CV: internal combustion cars, with 19 teams, including 2 with non-plug-in hybrid cars.
- Class 1DV: driverless cars, with 9 teams, both electric and combustion, always in driverless mode during dynamic events.
- Class 3: project presentation without prototype, with 5 teams.
This year, there is something new: the double class 1HD + 1EVwhich includes 2 of the 9 teams in the 1DV class.
Formula SAE Italy 2024 program

The demonstration ends Sunday 8th September with a closing ceremony on the home straight, during which the winners of the various categories are awarded, divided by class (Combustion, Electric, Driverless, 1EV + 1DV and projects without prototype) and by type of test.
The program also includes the exhibition of sponsors’ products, such as Iveco Group (represented by FPT Industrial and IVECO) which is exhibiting the F1C NG enginetwo electric axles developed with Maserati and other innovative vehicles, including theS-Way Metallica Special Edition.

Podium Advanced Technologies assign the “Best Battery Award” for the most innovative battery system, SKF reward with “Sustainability at 360 degrees” the team that adheres to the principles ESGAnd Teoresi Group offers an award for the best electronics development process.
What is Formula SAE?
Formula SAE, born in 1981 on the initiative of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)is a competition in which university students design and build a single-seater racing car for possible commercialization, following technical and economic constraints. During the event, the teams face static tests (Design, Business Presentation, Cost) e dynamics on the track (Acceleration, Skid Pad, Autocross, Endurance).
The main objective is to develop engineering, organizational and work skills in student teamrather than competitiveness, putting them to the test in the real design and construction phases of the prototype.
