Brunnthal/Munich and Kehl, Germany, July 2, 2010– Buerstner, leading international motor home and caravan manufacturer, and EFOY support the French retailer ETS Jacqueline SAS and the race team of Dominique and Anne-Marie Ribaut in the Paris-Peking-Paris rallye. In this transcontinental motor home race, 50 teams will cover around 30,000 km (approx. 18,640 miles) in their motor homes from June 1 to September 3, 2010. The rallye will start and end in Paris, crossing 13 countries - among them Germany, Poland, the Baltic States, Russia, Kazakhstan, and China. The French Federation of Camping & Caravaning (FFCC) organizes the event, following the idea of the Peking - Paris race, the world’s first and still longest transcontinental car race. The Ribaut couple competes the race with their Buerstner Solano T690-G, one of Europe’s most successful partially integrated motor home models combining dynamic driving characteristics with ultimate comfort and driving safety. An EFOY 2200 fuel cell ensures the vehicle’s off-grid power autonomy. It provides a reliable, silent, environmentally friendly power supply directly on board. During a stopover of the team on their way in early June, Buerstner and EFOY representatives welcomed Mr. and Mrs Ribaut at the Buerstner customer center in Kehl, Germany.

“We wish Dominique and Anne-Marie Ribaut much success for their trip. Our Solano proves just how comfortably and environmentally friendly this adventure can be tackled. The Solano’s dynamic driving characteristics, its on-board comfort, and its ultimate driving safety are the best prerequisites for a successful race”, says Maggie Sattler, Marketing Director France at Buerstner.

“We are proud that our EFOY 2200 is part of this race. Our fuel cell guarantees the Ribauts a reliable, silent and emission free 24/7 power supply, thus ensuring ultimate flexibility and comfort on this demanding trip. We wish the Ribauts success and luck for their exciting adventure!” says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG.
