Bridgestone tyres is offering inventors who have created a vehicle from junk parts or a three-wheeler that runs on a random substance like bananas or manure the chance to showcase their designs at the annual Eco Rally.
Andy Dingley, from Bridgestone, said: “As part of this year’s Eco-Rally we asked school children across the UK to submit their design for green cars of the future and now we want to take that appeal one step further and see what the innovators out there are coming up with.
“Sustainable transport is a fascinating design area with unique problems and we want to see how the amateur designers out there are tackling and overcoming the issues.”
He added: “There are many obstacles to the advancement of eco-friendly transport and the solutions to these issues come from all sources whether it be a large manufacturer or someone working out of their garage.
“The chance to see these independent developments as well as those from the motor industry is an exciting one for those of us who are passionate about seeing zero emission transport becoming the future. The ingenuity and resourcefulness of the amateur designer never fails to amaze.”
