Alérion Supermileage is a student project who created a good reputation for itself over many years on both national and international levels.
Each year, the group takes part in the well mediatized «Shell Eco-Marathon America» competition in Houston Texas. During the competition, more than 50 of the best Universities in North America compete for the American fuel economy title. Laval University performs in the internal combustion engine category.
In the past, the project had been able to demonstrate its capacities to develop a high tech prototype by cumulating many convincing victories.

Later in the season, Alérion Supermileage participates to the SAE Supermileage competition supported by the renowned Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). This very strict competition in terms of rules takes place in Marshall Michigan. It is another good occasion for the project to assert itself as the American leader of fuel economy.
