China's first-ever Clean Air Drive is coming soon to Hong Kong!
NOVEMBER 5, 2012
WOW! WHEN IS THIS?
The Clean Air Drive will take place on Sunday, December 2nd 2012, from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, at the brand new Zero Carbon Building in Kowloon Bay.
WHAT IS THIS?
The purpose of the Drive is to showcase state-of-the-art eco-design and raise community awareness about sustainable living within Hong Kong, as such, the event will feature zero-emissions transportation (e.g. electric vehicles, segways, bikes, etc.) and will be held at a zero-carbon building, with booths to further educate interested members of the public.

HOW WILL IT WORK?
The actual parade segment is the heart of the event, where the public will get to see zero-emissions forms of transport in action (e.g. EVs, segways, etc.). They will form a convoy that drives along a fixed route. Using GPS mapping, their route will show up on an LED screen, spelling out the word “AIR” in real-time.

The hope is that this vision helps to inspire the public to view these forms of transportation as a viable solution to the air pollution problem in Hong Kong.
