Participants will be measured in points for style, technology and popularity
Two drivers, three wheels, $350 and zero carbon emissions.
That's how Australian father-and-son team Nick and Jason Jones hope to circle the globe in their custom built electric vehicle.
The duo joined teams from Germany and Switzerland on Monday for the start of a round-the-world race aimed at showcasing green technologies.
The aim is to complete the 18,642-mile (30,000-kilometer) trip without pumping carbon into the atmosphere, a goal that Louis Palmer, the race organizer, believes can be done.
Teams from Australia, Germany and Switzerland have set off from Geneva for what they hope will be the first carbon neutral race around the world. Participants are using custom built two-seater electric vehicles that will be charged from regular power outlets along the way.
