DRIVE CLEAN AND GREEN ACROSS MISSOURI

A caravan of hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles will be making its way through the state as part of “Drive Clean and Green Across Missouri,†an event sponsored by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Energy Center, St. Louis Regional Clean Cities and Kansas City Clean Cities coalitions. Designed to introduce Missourians to the latest in high-efficiency hybrid vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles, the event will kick off April 5 at the St. Louis Science Center. The goal of the caravan is to educate Missouri citizens and students on the benefits of fuel economy and use of renewable and alternative fuels in terms of saving money, reducing oil imports, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and generating more efficient technologies.

Among the vehicles included in the caravan is the hybrid Ford Escape, which is built at the company’s Kansas City plant. Other vehicles expected for the drive include the following (vehicles may be subject to change):

• Hybrids – Chevrolet Silverado, Toyota Prius and Honda Insight

• Alternative Fuel Vehicles – biodiesel Jeep Liberty, compressed natural gas bi-fuel Chevrolet Silverado, propane bi-fuel Ford 150 series truck, 85-percent ethanol (E-85) Chevrolet Avalanche, E-85 Ford Taurus, E-85 Dodge Ram and E-85 Ford Explorer

Several organizations, including the National Biodiesel Board, National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition, Missouri Soybean Association, Missouri Corn Growers Association, Laclede Gas, Missouri Propane Gas Association and various automobile manufacturers, are cosponsors for the drive.
