The Zerotracer is a purpose built Electric vehicle for the Zero Emissions Race which went around the world in 2010/11. The vehicle seats two in a closed cabin, while its driving characteristics are more similar to a motorbike. The race started under UNEP patronage on 16 August 2010 in front of the Palace of Nations at Geneva where it ended on 24 February 2011 completing 80 days of travel – inspired by Jules Verne's novel, Around the World in Eighty Days. Of the only three vehicles completing the race, Zerotracer accumulated the highest score of points to win.[1]

Performance and development

Zerotracer covered the through route from Geneva to Shanghai without any breaks caused by technical problems. This is due to its fully developed concept deriving from the Monotracer, a very similar concept using a petrol engine. Manufacturer Designwerk[2] is considering commercial production of the vehicle.

Der Zerotracer ist ein Kabinenmotorroller und ein Leichtelektromobil für zwei Personen. Entwickelt wurde das Fahrzeug in Winterthur zur Teilnahme am Zero Emission Race[1]. Der Wettbewerb startete unter der Schirmherrschaft der UNEP am 16. August 2010 vor dem Palais der Vereinten Nationen in Genf und endete ebenfalls dort am 24. Februar 2011 nach 80 Fahrtagen – wohl in Anlehnung an die von Jules Verne beschriebene Reise.
