EaglePicher Horizon Batteries LLC supplied its Horizon(TM) lead acid batteries to the Methacton High School Electric Car Club in Norristown, Pennsylvania, to power the club's entry in the Tour de Sol green transportation competition. The Tour de Sol event, which began in Burlington, New Jersey, on May 21, moved to Trenton, New Jersey, and ended in New York City on May 25.
The Methacton club's prototype battery electric vehicle (pictured on page 1) competed for prizes for "green" capability, consumer satisfaction and best performing vehicle using lead-acid batteries. The vehicle was judged on handling, acceleration, reliability and range as well as its contribution to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and higher fuel efficiency.
