1) Noriko Iwasaki shows off the 'Gorilla' electric vehicle during the Alternative Car and Energy Expo (AltCar Expo) at Barker Hanger on Friday, October 19, 2007. The Gorilla is designed to carry a 650 pound load, tow up to 4000 pounds, or climbs hills to 30 degrees. 2) Iwasaki demonstrates the Chimp - a one-person, stand-up, electric utility vehicle during the expo. The AltCar Expo was a rare opportunity for the public to test drive the latest and most technologically advanced electric, natural gas, biodiesel, hydrogen, fuel cell and ethanol cars—some which were unveiled for the first time ever at the show. The two day cutting-edge event also featured several hard-hitting speaking panels that discussed solutions to the current energy and climate crises while working towards forming coalitions and drafting future legislation.
