Press Release 16th September 2014
CUTW and I-CARE ELECTRIC RALLY
I-Care, led by Xavier van de Stappen, is visiting Gibraltar for a series of workshops and events in partnership with the ESG’s CUTW flagship campaign. The I-CARE is an exciting project that is currently building a number of prototype electric vehicles, made from sustainable or recycled materials that are then used in exhibitions and rallies around the world reinforcing the benefits of electric mobility. During his stay in Gibraltar, Xavier and his team will be holding a number of public workshops as well as addressing a number of schools.
The ESG, together with I-CARE, from Belgium, will be holding an electric transport rally on the 21st September. I-CARE visit is also supported by the Government of Gibraltar as well as private sponsors. Those interested are invited to gather from 10am at Casemates for a departure and short tour at 12.00 midday.
With participation from private firms, agencies and government vehicles confirmed in the rally so far, we hope to raise awareness about existing use of green transport in Gibraltar today. Of course, having the I-CARE team and their striking vehicles with us will help raise the profile further and, we hope, attract the public’s attention and interest.
If you own, drive, cycle, or ride, electric vehicles or hybrids, please contact organisers at: 54960000 to register your interest in taking part in the rally. Although you are welcome to turn up at the event on the Sunday itself, it is advisable to contact us beforehand for logistics sake.
