 Royal
Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV)
In 1991, the RACV was approached to support a new, innovative event where young
people were actively encouraged to create environmentally and energy
efficient vehicles - a subject close to the RACV's heart.
After a successful
debut, the following year the RACV signed on as principle sponsors
and the event became the RACV Energy Breakthrough. Every year since,
RACV Officials have supervised on-track action, formulated the
safety and design specifications for the vehicles and been
responsible for vehicle scrutineering.
The RACV has provided
roadside assistance to motorists since 1903 and to Energy
Breakthrough participants since 1991, but also offers traffic safety
education in schools, insurance, financial services, vehicle
inspections and vehicle buying advice. They are focused on ensuring
optimum environmental and safety standards in vehicles and improving
driver training; because traffic safety education, better roads and
better cars save lives.
