London to Copenhagen hybrid journey with Positive TV

Submitted by Positive TV on 7 December, 2009 - 15:01

What if campaigners minimised their transport emissions when travelling to climate conventions

Revolve and Positive TV did a Mini Eco-Rally from London to Copenhagen in the Honda Insight hybrid to cover the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) and test-drive the new hydrogen fuel cell Honda FCX Clarity. They were accompanied by a dual-fuel van powered by hydrogen.

The Insight is the world's most affordable hybrid family car, with completely integrated electric motor and an on-board eco-driving coach to help us achieve optimum mpg.
