Leading geophysicists predict that peak-oil is either currently occuring, or will have occured by 2015. Meanwhile, demand for oil continues to increase at an extraordinairy rate, with increasingly negative social and ecological consequences. Are you ready to switch?

The Exige 270E Tri-fuel, could be the forefather of a new generation of conventionally driven cars that have the potential to be environmentally-neutral. It is the most powerful road version yet of the Exige and it runs on any mixture of gasoline, methanol and bio-ethanol. For the Oxford to London Eco-Rally it will be powered by a blend of waste wine and cheese whey.

The DeLorean Motor Company may have only been around for two years in the early eighties, but the DMC-12 achieved cult status when it was chosen to be time-machine by the makers of the Back to the Future Trilogy. They especially liked the futuristic gull-wing doors and stainless steel bodywork. Twenty years on, several companies have sprung up to serve the cult following, selling all the props you need to convert your DeLorean into the BTTF Car - incl. the BTTF1 Fuel Cell, Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor and even a Flux Capacitor!.

The People's Eco-Rally
At the height of the fuel protests and the heated debate about food vs fuel, Revolve set British motorists a challenge: Drive from Brighton to London in the greenest way you can. The destination was a music festival on Clapham Common, where the drivers were tested for eco-driving skills whilst their cars were tested for emissions.

Our panel of expert judges used the e-factor: energy, efficiency & enthusiasm to decide on the greenest vehicles and drivers. Exhaust emissions were measured by VOSA and the driver's skill was tested in the eco-driving simulator provided by the Energy Saving Trust.

Haulier Harry Wragg is upgrading his food haulier fleet to be powered by CO2 nuetral, renewable fuel - grown in the field just like the foodstock it carries. Sixteen award-winning Mercedes Actros lorries have been converted by Elsbett from new to operate on Verdant Fuel (made from European-sourced rapeseed oil).
