17 July 2000: Kassel - Northeim
- Hannover
| On the final trip to Hannover, a lunch stop was made at Northeim, hosted by the local "Stadtwerke". |  |
 |
Delegates of the city and the Stadtwerke received the participants, whileas Professor Maggetto presented CITELEC. The city of Northeim showed an enthousiastic interest in the development of electric vehicle infrastructure. |
| Further on to Hannover, and entering the EXPO 2000! The goal is
reached!
The vehicles proceeded to the pavillon of Monaco, where they were received by Mr Badia, General Commissioner of the Pavillon, who showed a big interest for electric and hybrid vehicles. |
 |
 |
A nice array of cups and prizes awaited the participants, offered by the Prince and Princess of Hannover, AVERE, the Automobile Club of Monaco, and the SMEG power company of Monaco. |
| The lowest overall consumption was obtained by vehicle n°2,
driven by Joël Morocutti of Monaco. The vehicle had an average consumption
of only 116 Wh/Tkm, of 290 Wh/Tkm in primary energy.
Translated in petrol consumption, this means only about 3 litres per 100 km, even taking into account the efficiencies of electric power stations! |

Paola Scioni from EasyMove/Autonoleggio Sud was premiated for the most numerous participation, with 4 vehicles participating from the EasyMove fleet. Her vehicle , N°7, had a consumption of 125 Wh/Tkm (313 primary) |

N° 19 used 179 Wh/Tkm electricity, or 466 Wh/Tkm primary energy including the fuel consumption of the range extender which was rarely needed, since only 2,2 litres of fuel were used for the whole trip. |
| Finally, the AVERE cup for the two-wheel vehicles went to the team of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (from left to right: Robin Lataire, Frederic Dalle and Philippe Lataire). |  |
