With great sadness we have learned of the passing of Hubert Auriol. The legend, a friend and an ambassador for adventure in general and recently for 80 Day Race.

Big ideas attract audience, followed by the sponsors! Then anything happen. We are prepping to compete in the @80DR and other electric motorsport! Can't wait for all this to kick off! An exciting decade ahead!
Today would've been the start of the 1st edition of 80 Day Race. How things changed over the last months! We are evaluating options and are still very much committed to accelerating society to a clean mobility future in a fun and exciting way! #futureisclean

A truly defining moment for me back in 2017.
During my time in Kazakhstan, I spent a morning with @bertrandpiccard from @solarimpulse & @fjmanders from @80DR & then shared the stage with these two incredibly inspiring individuals.
Their words & advice still guide me today 🙏
Wishing everyone a great Christmas and an amazing 2020! Let's make 2020 the most adventurous year yet!

Fantastic news w Kazakhstan Superchargers! Even more reason for a Team Tesla for first world race for 0 emissions vehicles 80dr.com traveling through Kazakhstan in June 2020 from Paris to China, N. America, Africa, EU.
Contact us @Greenelimo to participate!
The powerful message of @GretaThunberg is resonating with many. She also talks about 'stolen dreams'.
It is important to create new dreams of a future that is clean and exciting! Then we can dream of a future worth fighting for.

Today the @wavetrophy Germany edition will start. A great adventure for the participants. Organised by our ambassador Louis Palmer who has a history of great adventures. See his ambassador video: youtu.be/J2MFsVFW-Lg
Enjoy the WAVE! #evtour #electricadventure
Yesterday at the #IAA19 we signed up a new ambassador! Very exciting to reveal this soon. But of course you are free to make a guess!
This vehicle proves one thing, an EV, even a protype is robust enough to drive the complete Silk Way from China to Europe (and then some!). It would be a great vehicle for @80DR Very impressive!👏
Yesterday I visited an event by @aiways_auto. This company is founded in Feb 2017, and now 2.5yrs later they have driven an EV prototype from China to Europe, are firing up their factory and will start European deliveries in April 2020! Very impressive!!
Great adventure for the @aiways_auto #EV vehicles. They are now arriving in Amsterdam, and we got an invitation to meet them! So excited to see the team and the vehicle and hear their stories!
Last month, an epic 60-day road adventure started in China: The longest point-to-point drive of a prototype #EV ever attempted. 🚗 The main “drivers” of this trip? @aiways_auto, a Shanghai-based personal #mobility provider, supported by @AllianzPartners. 👉ow.ly/I0Jf50vqqpA
How did it all start? What inspired us to begin with 80 Day Race?
This article by @cleantechnica's @ElectricExaminr tells the story quite nicely! What are your dreams?

Finally we reached our finish line at #Tetulia! A long time dream achieved, and a milestone for #Bangladesh. First #solar electric vehicle driven across the country!

Great idea!
We wonder if @ForzaMotorsport will make digital versions of our cars too after the @80DR is completed @pluginadventure @team_torpedo @fjmanders @hubertauriol ! Fingers crossed. 🤔🧐
With all the new varieties entering the market, it takes true skill to sell cars these days. Fortunately @Schwarzenegger has made this very helpful video to help out with some solid advice 😉@ElectricForAll

Wow, who would expect that!
A #solar charging station in rural #Bangladesh. Built for 3-wheeled electric vehicles! The future is here! #ElectricVehicles

Why we need Electric Vehicles in Bangladeshi cities, NOW! And why we are participating in @80DR!

So true! Thank God for the people to whom an impossibility is nothing but an exciting new challenge.
What my grandfather’s first stratospheric flight and #BreitlingOrbiter3 have in common is that people told us our projects were impossible. This proves the impossible is not in the reality but in the mindset of people who cannot imagine the future will be different than the past.
