The Rolling Sunlight has arrived

After 4100 miles from San Francisco, the Greenpeace solar truck has arrived in Cancun.

The Rolling Sunlight powered part of the presentations at the closing of the media convergence held by Centro de Medios Independientes in downtown Cancun.

We have been on the road for two weeks, driving the Greenpeace solar truck, Rolling Sunlight, from San Francisco. Our last few miles were slow, as we got stuck behind a horse on the road from Campeche, and that delayed our arrival a bit.

The Rolling Sunlight has an array of solar panels on the back, a generator that runs on biodiesel for backup, and is powered by a biodiesel engine. Read more about the truck here.

This evening we supplied power for part of the closing gathering of the Media Convergence held by the local indymedia centre. It was held in Parque las Palapas, in downtown Cancun, around the corner from the Centro de Medios Independientes.

We are here for the rest of the meeting, then we turn the truck around and drive back to San Fran.

Sunil Bector was part of the crew that drove the Rolling Sunlight from San Francisco.
