In 2002, with the goal of designing a vehicle with low fuel consumption, a group of students at the École de technologie supérieure de Montréal, after three years of hard work, produced the first generation of the Évolution prototype. Finishing 16th out of 27 at the Supermileage Competition in Michigan in June 2002 with a fuel consumption of 0.588 litres/100 km, the ÉTS team returned the following year and this time achieved a 3rd place standing with a consumption of 0.315 litres/100 km. Proud of these results, the team, which now has new members, has been working on the development of Évolution II for the last year. In their third participation in the annual Michigan competition, the ÉTS representatives won the award for best design and Évolution II finished fourth with a fuel consumption of 0.257 litres/100 km, sinking the performance of Évolution I into oblivion. Last year, the Club Évolution also took part in different fairs and exhibitions and toured cegeps to heighten public awareness of energy control and fuel economy.
