Around 30 teams from all over Europe, including two employees of the Hightech Zentrum Aargau,
will cover around 1600 kilometers in eight days. They follow the tourist highlights of Switzerland on the Grand Tour of Switzerland. The gallery shows pictures Wave Tropy last year.
During their stops in various communities, the teams will demonstrate that e-mobility is suitable for everyday use and is also a lot of fun. Beat Christen and Dr. Peter Morf from the Hightech Zentrum Aargau will also be taking part. With a Tesla S P85D, they will also visually lead the "Mission Innovation Aargau" through Switzerland.
Aargauer Landammann starts the tour
A first highlight will be the official welcome on Friday, September 11, 2020, by Louis Palmer, Tour Director Wave Trophy, at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland FHNW Brugg-Windisch. Lectures on electromobility will be held in the lecture hall of the FHNW.
Participants' vehicles can also be viewed. On Saturday, September 12, 2020, the Aargauer Landammann Dr. Markus Dieth will give the starting signal in front of the FHNW.
Meetings with authorities and schools
In addition to the winner's trophy, the e-mobilists are striving for one goal above all: They want to show that e-mobility can be a sensible solution for the future. To this end, info meetings with authorities, schools and the population will be held at most of the 20 locations through which the Wave Trophy passes.
