Electric car makes global sustainable drive
AN ELECTRIC CAR that is on a 34,000km zeroemissions road trip, and been driven through 22 countries, stopped off at Dubai International to refuel and support Dubai Airports’ green mobility event in March. Dutch campaigner Wiebe Wakker is driving the car from the Netherlands to Australia as part of his Plug Me In project to promote sustainable ideas and popularise electric vehicles. The event also raised awareness on the environmental benefits of cleaner technology among passengers by displaying three electric vehicles at DXB.
