Round The World Tour in Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles from Australia, Germany, and Switzerland have completed a 27000 km "emissions free" round the world tour that took a total of 188 days on the road and at sea to complete.
The German three-wheeler electric scooter called "TREV" completed the last leg of the trip in Geneva. One of the vehicles stopped off at the World Climate Conference in Cancun, Mexico after touring through Europe, Russia, China, Canada, and the US, before heading back through Morocco and Spain. The pioneering trip, dubbed the "Zero Race", was backed by the UN and organized by Louis Palmer, a Swiss schoolteacher who made news several years ago when he traveled solo around the world in a solar-powered "taxi". He says he is pursuing these projects to show the people around the world that electric cars are a viable alternative and hopefully to inspire social change in this direction.
