Tour de Sol, America's Green Vehicle Festival, Goes to New York
Hybrid and biodiesel vehicle owners, students, and green vehicle manufacturers invited to participate - early registration deadline soon
(CSRwire) GREENFIELD, MA - The Tour de Sol, America's high-tech, high-touch
green "car show" and competition is holding an all New York State event
this May. And it is offering new opportunities for hybrid and biodiesel
vehicle owners and students to get involved.
"We have created an all-new Monte Carlo-style Rally for people who own
advanced vehicles that reduce oil use and greenhouse gas emissions and are
fun to drive," says Nancy Hazard, event director from the Northeast
Sustainable Energy Association. "Dozens of hybrid, biodiesel, and electric
cars from around the northeast will converge at the Tour de Sol at
Saratoga's Spring Auto Show, and compete for special prizes"
From the drawing board...to the show room...to the customer's garage
Now in its 17th year, the Tour de Sol challenges auto companies, students,
entrepreneurs, fuel suppliers, and government to work together, and design,
build, and market vehicles that can meet our transportation needs without
compromising our future.
From May 13-16, 2006, the general public is invited to see what Yankee
ingenuity has created. In addition to talking with advanced vehicle owners
participating it the Monte Carlo-style Rally, and students who have built
vehicles to compete in the Tour de Sol Championship, attendees will have
an opportunity to see three new hybrid SUV's, Honda and Toyota's hybrid
sedans, electric bikes and scooters, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
On Saturday, May 14, The Tour de Sol will be featured at Saratoga's Spring
Auto Show in Saratoga Springs, NY, which is organized by the Saratoga Auto
Museum. On Monday, May 16, there will be a free Tour de Sol display of
over 50 vehicles on Albany's Empire State Plaza.
The Tour de Sol is organized by the Northeast Sustainable Energy
Association (NESEA), the nation's leading regional education and advocacy
association that aims to accelerate the deployment and use of renewable
energy, green buildings, and energy efficiency in everyday life. NESEA
produces major sustainable energy events that inspire and motivate large
