Challenge Bibendum is an unusual event held in Germany and being the unity of
the scientific and practical conference, international forum and exhibition of
achievements related to car industry.
A fat small man made of tyres named Bibendum is the symbol of the company.
The exhibition itself was located on the territory of the former legendary
airport in Tempelhof making use of the wide ground available.
The site revealed technology development.
Old cars.
For the first time the event was run in 1998 by a large French company engaged
in tyre manufacturing.
The unique thing about the last Challenge was that anyone could test the new
electric and hydro-cars as well as as vehicles using hydrogen as fuel.
Challenge aims at achieving the unity between the efforts produced by transport
companies and decisions on mobility development in cities.
Accumulators, liquid and biological fuel, ecologically clean transport using
hydrogen were taken as topics.
Preliminary registration occurred in the terminal.
Every registered visitor became a participant at once. Those who didn't have
driving license could test bicycles or segways or just be a regular passenger.
Experienced drivers with driving licenses have to register, fill in some papers
and test any car they want. For example, electric car Renault Z.E. Its engine
doesn't produce any noise while working. But as soon as the leg leaves the
pedal, rapid slowdowning is observed which is far from being habitual.
This electric Nissan Leaf became the leader of the famous European contest 'The
car of 2011'.
The company's representative joins the passengers and the driver of the car
describing the mechanism and capabilities.
The Opel GM HydroGen4.
