KlimaBil 2008

Before e-GLO's session today, I was at KlimaBil 2008 which brought people to the Youngstortinget plass (in Oslo) to showcase eco-cars such as those who are fueled by hydrogen, biofuels, etcera. Klima= climate; Bil = car in Norwegian. The event was promoted by ZERO, a Norwegian NGO which aims to contribute to limiting the threat posed by climate change by promoting carbon-free energy solutions.

There were great concerts  - I loved Maria's band and also those very funny rock'nroll guys that performed. Anyway, in the picture you see "Romiseta", a tiny car launched in the 70's. Here in Norway (in Europe, I would say) this kind of MINI cars are very popular. It is funny cause people park them everywhere (even in the middle of the street, literally!!! that's the case in Italy!).

I am not sure about how "environment-friendly" are them, as they just carry 1-2 people. But it seems that the industry is making efforts to make them more and more eco-efficient.
