Energica Trophy. Modena Racetrack. June 21 2012

On 21 June the new racetrack of Modena will host the first event dedicated to electric two-wheels, organized by CRP.
A venue that will transform the homeland of  Italian motor valley in a festival dedicated to sustainable technology applied to powerful motorcycles.

The eCRP, the electric vice-world champion racebike will be on track at the Modena circuit while Energica, the electric streetbike can be seen in the paddock of the circuit. Confindustria Modena and Motor Valley have given their patronage to the event in order to reinforce the importance of it for the local territory. Among the partners there will be the dealer of Modena Renostar that will provide the first European electric car, the Opel Ampera. The new era of high-performance electric vehicle starts from Modena and CRP invites you to be part of the future of eco-mobility. Two and four wheels with special guests from the world of sport, national and local media. Other activities outside the racetrack are planned, such as the lecture held by Lapam-Confartigianato dedicated to renewable energy titled "Green Economy: Energy and economic sustainability."

The event is open from 9.00 a.m. and you come to watch the test-ride on track of the eCRP on the terrace of the circuit, but there's much more! You can try the Opel Ampera on a real track and attend the first competition of private electric racebike ever held in Italy: the Energica Trophy. You can also see during the day Energica and you can speak with the technicians who are working to its development. The technical staff during the event will tell you some little tricks and devices that you need, and show the work being done in the pits during the races. The project manager of CRP Racing will explain some parameters for the setting-up of an electric motorcycle as eCRP, analyzing the telemetry that provides valuable information on the engine temperature, power absorption, battery voltage, the speed and engine rpm, just like in a race situation. The same technicians will be on available for your questions: curiosity runs on the web regarding future Italian electric superbike. This is an opportunity to dispel any doubt!

For one day the motor valley of Modena challenges what the future will be.
