E-Rallye Monte-Carlo (Octobre 12-16, 2016)

Registered on the FIA Calendar and scheduled in the Monaco Principality’s program events from October 12 to 16, 2016, the e-Monte-Carlo Rally, wanted innovative by their creators, displays a “pioneering spirit” which offers a large place to the human adventure and the future technologies.

The Rallye Monte-Carlo “ZENN”, which was previously reserved only for competitors entered with a 100% electric vehicle, will now be open to the 100% non-polluting and CO2-free vehicles (Electric, Fuel Cell (hydrogen), Solar, Compressed Air … Etc. etc.), with 4 wheels, registered for road use, for a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 5.

For this new event, the Organizing Committee of the Automobile Club de Monaco has deliberately opened a new page of the “Rallye Monte-Carlo des Energies Nouvelles”, initiated in 1995, and the former Monte-Carlo Rally ZENN (Zero Emission – No Noise). A radical change due to reply to the specific requirements from the competitors but also from the car manufacturers, governments, car fleets or city communities.
