REEV is run like an OEM programme office — three subcommittees reporting through a Convenor to the OC Chair, guided by an Advisory Board of OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, academia and energy specialists.

Governance

Steering Committee

Sets the direction, approves the rulebook and architecture changes each season, and holds final sign-off on major decisions.

REEV let me put vehicle design on one side and classroom theory on the other, and watch them meet. Getting real industry exposure — two dedicated mentors per team, pushing us to communicate clearly and deliver on time — is something no lecture hall gives you.
