Ecoverso, the cultural association that promotes a more sustainable mobility, is organising the 18th Ecoverso R-Ace on Sunday 19 May 2024 in Lecco (at the Polo of Politecnico di Milano).
Ecoverso R-Ace is a car race that gathers dozens of fans and participants every year, open both to racing teams and to all those who wish to measure their driving skills with a hybrid or electric vehicle.
The winner, however, will not be the driver who completes the route in the best time, but the one who has the lowest final consumption in ml or Wh: a race, therefore, in the pursuit of sustainability, reduced consumption, and a new way of travelling, inspired by greater attention to the environment and the territory.

On Sunday morning, at 9:00 a.m., will be the official start of the race, which will run along an attractive route of about 58 km, skirting the lakes of Annone, Pusiano, Alserio and Garlate (see the picture).
At the end, the Ecoverso staff will check two parameters on the race kits (Hybrid Assistant for hybrid cars / Power Cruise Control for electric cars): absolute consumption (ml or Wh) and the route covered. The race categories are Hybrid, Hybrid Team, Electric and Electric Team.

At 2.30 p.m. in the Aula Magna of Polo di Lecco of the Politecnico, will be held a public meeting dedicated to sustainable mobility, on the topic “Everything you would like to know about electric cars but that you had never dare to ask to science”.
A panel discussion leaded by Luca Dal Sillaro, the founder of Ecoverso, will involve Renata Zuffi, Councillor for the Environment, Mobility and Equal Opportunities of the Municipality of Lecco, Eleonora Perotto, Mobility Manager at the Politecnico, Mario Grosso, the Rector’s Delegate for relations with sustainable university networks, and Nicola Armaroli, Director of “Sapere”, a popular science magazine.
The debate will then focus on the potential of e-mobility as a new way of travelling.

The initiative is part of the Festival of Sustainable Development 2024 organised by ASviS and has the patronage of the Lombardy Region and the Municipality of Lecco.
