We would like to thank you for your continued support. 
The Association for the Promotion of Electric Vehicles (APEV) has 
announced the launch of the fifth "Social EV Design Contest for 
International  students." 
From 2013 to 2019, APEV organized biannual "EV Design Contest for 
International Students" in conjunction with the Tokyo Motor Show. 
In 2021 it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the fifth 
contest will be held with a major revamp in 2022.  

Our aim is to reiterate the fact that the concept of the contest has 
changed significantly from the past four times, and to increase the 
number of applications for students from a wide range of faculties and 
departments.
Therefore, as a result of extending the application period and 
shortening the work creation period, the entire schedule has changed as 
follows. (See attach jpg)
