A Sustainable Future

Throughout every corner of the world, environmental sustainability is at the heart of many day-to-day decisions – spanning politics, manufacturing, lifestyle, technology, trade and of course transport.

The Global Green Challenge provides an opportunity for participants to position themselves at the forefront of technology and for spectators to experience a glimpse of a sustainable vehicle future.

Climate Change

Australia and the globe are experiencing rapid climate change. Since the middle of the 20th century, Australian temperatures have, on average, risen by about 1°C with an increase in the frequency of heat waves and a decrease in the numbers of frosts and cold days.

Rainfall patterns have also changed - the northwest has seen an increase in rainfall over the last 50 years while much of eastern Australia and the far southwest, have experienced a decline.

A significant factor in global warming is a reliance on fossil fuels to power our ever-increasing transport needs. The Global Green Challenge however heralds a new era in environmentally friendly transportation through the international promotion of sustainable energy sources and clean fuel technology.

Corporate Responsibility

In an age of increased environmental awareness, consumers are demanding greater accountability from government and the private sector.

Corporate environmental responsibility has become a key component within organisational policy.

By genuinely presenting our partners and supporters as part of a vibrant, socially aware community that takes its environmental obligations seriously, involvement in the Global Green Challenge can help achieve the core business and social responsibility objectives of a wide range of corporate entities.

This internationally renowned event continues to demonstrate that, by pushing the boundaries of efficiency, not only can solarcars cross Australia with speed, but many practical attributes are finding their way into the new generation of low emission vehicles demanded by the motoring public.

The mission is to promote and celebrate global technical excellence and draw attention to the community the imperatives of sustainable transport.
