Peugeot Eco Cup: selection of the candidates

The Peugeot Eco Cup, the first European eco-driving competition, seems to have generated huge public interest: a total of more than 22,500 European candidates have applied for the competition by answering the following question on the recruitment web site: “What, in your opinion, makes a good eco-driver”?

In each of the 18 participating countries, a local jury of journalists and Peugeot representatives has selected just four candidates – one for each of the four models involved in the competition.

In the final stage of the preparations for the start of the competition on Sunday 28 February, each candidate and a co-pilot of his/her choice will follow a one-day eco-driving course on 19 or 20 February 2010 and will be given the use of a vehicle in order to gain familiarity with driving a Peugeot.

The Peugeot Eco Cup is scheduled to start on Sunday 28 February 2010 from in front of Peugeot’s head office at 75 Avenue de la grande Armée in Paris. From 9.00 a.m. onwards, the 72 competing vehicles will cross the economy run start line and head for Annecy on a mandatory 1000 km route. The time limit has been set at 31 hours.
