This week a lot of things happened with the Baldos cars as well as the Team!
At first we visited a fair and presented ourselves and the project to the companies participating. We certainly enjoyed spreading our experiences and interests to others, and we hope to have made a lasting impression on those who visited us.
Second we made a really successful fuel efficiency test. We proved that Baldos II right now is the most fuel-efficient car allowed for street-use in Sweden, and we see the results as a start-off point for the further development of the car.
Several Swedish newspapers have published articles about the test (all in Swedish):

And, quite surprisingly, we have also been noticed by a couple of Dutch (!) sources:

Thank you for your support (and a big Thanks to Mr. Vrieselaar, Mr. Bos, Mr. Fonville and Mr. de Vries for the information)!
Third, we received an award for our industrious work utilizing environmentally friendly technology. This is really motivating for the team and we are happy to see that our efforts are appreciated by others!
And at last, we are pleased to welcome as many as Nine new members to the team – Cameron, Simon, Kristofer, Harald, Christof, Mattias, Jonas, Joel and Nina! These are from now on members of Team Baldos and will assist in the development and construction of the cars. You are most welcome!
