The pioneers of the Chocolate Powered Biotruck Expedition, proudly presents:

Join us for the Grease to Greece 2009, with even more teams and an updated route. Book a couple of weeks off work for the summer, get a diesel car and sign up here.

Next years rally will set off from the UK with our Round The World Veg-Powered Expedition attempting to drive, sail and fly around the world without using fossil fuels.

Corporate sponsors and corporate teams us to find out how to benefit from our press exposure, value association and a unique corporate hospitality and team building opportunity.

WE DID IT! - we drove 3750km for London to Greece using nothing but waste vegetable oil scavenged from restaurants along the route.

We filled the tanks from chip fryers, schnitzel shops and transport cafes all the way down through Europe.

The challenge was to "Fat-Find" our way from the UK to the Mediterranean without using fossil fuels, Some teams were running on pure grease, while others brewed up biodiesel from they fat they collected on the way.

The 12 day trip started on August 16th 2008 and arrived in Athens for the awards ceremony hosted by the British Ambassador.

In the words of John Lennon; "Give Grease a Chance"

Thanks to all our sponsors for making the event such a success, especially James and Colin at Green Fuels who risked divorces and engine management systems to be part of the event.

Thanks also to Simon, the British Ambassador in Athens for giving us such a fantastic finale, and above all thanks to all the teams who put their heart and soul into fatfinding, and have set the standard very high for future events.
