The Eco-mobility team is in Berlin to bring you live Bibendum updates! So far, we've seen people of all ages (literally) riding segways, bicycles with a fuel cell, and tricycles and quads that run on electricity.
The alternative to the gas-powered car is written on the wall...there are so many imaginative alternatives here that will surely change the future of road mobility.
And here's a recap of the rally...The cars participating in the Intercity Rally arrived in Berlin at 4:30, after an 8-hour journey. The goal here was not to be the fastest, but to travel the 300 miles while consuming as little energy as possible and within a certain period of time. The crews all seemed very confident but we won't have final results until tomorrow. In tests of regularity, you had to travel a certain distance by observing a specific time. Some drivers managed to do it with only a single second of difference ... The winner will be announced tomorrow!
