As part of preparations for Climate Week 2012; Ultra Global, creators of Heathrow pod attended the planning meeting for Climate Week held at The Royal Institute in London on 21st November.
The organisers of Climate Week, which not only sets out to raise awareness of climate issues but also help people to get practically involved in changing the way we live to protect our climate, were very keen to have Ultra participate due to the Heathrow pod’s eco credentials.
Since it was opened, Heathrow pod has replaced over 25,000 bus journeys with passenger journeys in its zero emission electric vehicles. In recognition of this and the potential for the Ultra PRT system to be used in cities and airports throughout the world to relieve congestion and reduce both urban pollution and total energy consumption for transport, Ultra have been invited to enter Heathrow pod into the prestigious Climate Week Awards in the categories of Best Technology Breakthrough and Best New Product.
