Danish electric car expedition stops at Expo
The Danish electric car expedition ‘Charge to Change’ will include Expo 2010 as an important stop on its eight-month journey around the world.
The expedition was presented to the public at the Town Hall Square in Copenhagen on 13 December during Copenhagen City’s electric car parade. It is the first expedition ever to drive around the world in electric cars run on fuel cells. The purpose is to pave the way for electric cars and renewable energy and to show that it is possible to drive long distances in environmentally friendly electric cars.
The cars will go 36,000 kilometres through countries such as Russia, Mongolia, the US and China, and behind the initiative are authors and adventurers Hjalte Tin and Nina Rasmussen. A host of important people, experts and sponsors will join the expedition, which will stop by at the international auto show in Detroit and at the Monte Carlo Rally for alternative cars. The expedition plans to arrive at the Danish pavilion in Shanghai in October.
