XOF1 Walk
After driving across most of Canada and the United States smashing the previous world record, already 36,200km (22,000 miles ) and counting. The XOF1 project will add another first to its impressive list of firsts and world records. The XOF1 solar car will be pulled by hand from Niagara Falls to Toronto to inspire ordinary citizens to do what they can to help preserve the planet and encourage governments to foster a mutually rewarding atmosphere for those who seek green prosperity and those in power who can make it happen. The future is bright as new decisions bring new possibilities. It only take one to change the word, YOU. Be inspired! |
