From the drawing board...to the show room...to the customer's garage
This high-tech, high-touch "traveling festival" and competition is America's longest running event of its kind. For 16 years, the Tour de Sol has brought together students, manufacturers, energy suppliers, press, government representatives, and consumers for a celebration and display of Yankee ingenuity - working toward sustainable energy and mobility for the world.
The May 13-16, 2005 event will feature the Tour de Sol Championship and several new and exciting activities, including a green "car show" at Saratoga's Spring Auto Show; a Monte Carlo-style rally for hybrid and alternative fuel vehicle owners; a "VIP Press" day; and a demo-drive. In addition, a 50-vehicle display and Award Ceremony at New York State's Empire State Plaza in Albany will offer superb opportunities to test-drive 3 All-NEW Hybrid SUVs, and to meet with the press and key government and industry representatives.
