Following its historic completion of the Dakar Rally, the ACCIONA 100% EcoPowered electric vehicle, visited several official institutions in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) “so that amateurs and professionals could approach the company’s sustainable concept, the 4×4 and its technological innovations.”
The vehicle toured a range of events held at Saudi Arabian government facilities including a stop at the Ibn Khaldun School of Riyadh which was followed by a display at the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC), the country’s desalination authority.
The EcoPowered finished its stay in the Kingdom at the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), a centre for scientific innovation focused on the most advanced technologies.
According to ACCIONA, visitors had the opportunity to learn about the details of its sustainable mobility project from Jesús Sancho, managing director for ACCIONA in the Middle East, and Edu Blanco, head of the ACCIONA 100% EcoPowered team.
They both explained the vehicle’s development process and illustrated the company’s challenge to highlight the competitiveness of renewable energies in the most demanding environments.
