Zero Emissions Race : ウィキペディア英語版 | Zero Emissions Race The Zero Emissions Race is an annual trip around the world, launched in Geneva in 2010 by Louis Palmer, a Swiss teacher who had previously driven an electric car dubbed the "Solar Taxi" around the world primarily powered by solar energy. That journey took 18 months and was completed in December 2008.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7766249.stm〕 ==Solar Taxi (2006 - 2008) ==
Before the Zero Emissions Race Palmer covered in a custom made EV called the 'Solar Taxi', a small, lightweight two-seater vehicle. He trailed a solar array with 12 solar panels behind him. The panels generated electricity, which was stored in batteries, also located in the trailer.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7766249.stm〕 Thus, the Solar Taxi is essentially a solar-charged vehicle, rather than a solar vehicle, meaning the energy created by the solar panels is first stored in batteries, rather than being tapped to directly, and immediately propel the vehicle forward. The Solar Taxi could travel for 300 kilometers on a single charge and reach speeds of 90 km/h (55 m.p.h.).〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7766249.stm〕 Passengers included UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Monaco's Prince Albert, Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Sweden's Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7766249.stm〕
