The Zerotracer is a purpose-built Electric vehicle for the Zero Emissions Race which went around the world in 2010/11. The vehicle, based on the MonoTracer by Peraves AG of Switzerland, seats two in a closed cabin, while its driving characteristics are more similar to a motorbike. The race started under UNEP patronage on 16 August 2010 in front of the Palace of Nations at Geneva where it ended on 24 February 2011 completing 80 days of travel – inspired by Jules Verne's novel, Around the World in Eighty Days. Of the only three vehicles completing the race, Zerotracer accumulated the highest score of points to win.[1]
