Meet Clover, Honda’s ambassador to the Fruitstock festival. Honda is using this 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid with a Heifer cow based paintjob to promote hybrid technology as well as educate the public on how hybrid technology works. The Fruitstock Festival held at Regent’s Park London is a free festival for the family where people can buy music, food, basically they have activities lined up for the whole family.

The 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid has an i-VTEC Integrated Motor Assist powerplant which combined the use of a 1,339cc gas engine with a 158V electric motor. For more details on the Honda Hybrid i-VTEC system, click here.

    The City had been associated with the flowerhorn fish by the general public. With the new Civic, the bold people at Honda decided start first, to associate it with a cow. Brilliant. What are they going to do with the Accord? Turn it into a mule? heh.

    p.s. Paul, I have yet to receive your e-mail lah.

    This kind of rim can promote better aerodynamic, therefore save more fuel. Also acting as heat distribution from the brakes.
