Planning a trip to the riviera sometime soon? If so, why not pay a visit to the CleanEquity© Monaco conference march 4th and 5th? “The Worlds No.1 event for emerging cleantech”. Baldos II is heading there right now!

Well, let’s do the math here. The distance by road from Luleå to Monaco is 3728 km (according to Google maps). With a fuel-consumtion of 0,0065 l/10km the Baldos II would get there with the equivalent of 21,3 l of gasoline. That’s like € 21 for getting to the Côte d’Azur – not bad for a tight student’s budget!

Unfortunately there are some other facts to be considered. It’s maximum speed of 50 km/h would imply travelling constantly for more than three days and nights, and the fact that it only takes one student at a time and has no stereo could make such a long trip somewhat boring. So, for this time, the Baldos II travels inside a bigger cousin of hers.

The students who are right now driving the Baldos II to Monaco are Mattias, Fredrik and Ulrika from last year’s Team Baldos. They, together with Max (who is part of this year’s Team Baldos) were the ones to improve the vehicle enough to make it allowed for street-use. With this mind it’s only fair letting them represent the team down there.

This year’s Team Baldos wishes them the best of luck in their representative journey; and please avoid betting with the car in the Casino.
