大巴士“喝”上植物油 Vegetable Oil-Powered Bus Opens Road Trip

In Vermont 13 College students converted a school bus fueled it by used vegetable oil from cafeterias and fast-food restaurants and then set out on a cross-country road trip. They believe Vegetable oil creates less pollution than diesel fuel. So they wanted to combine their trip with an environmental message. The students are not the first to power their wheels with vegetable oil. An American named Joshua Tickell drove about 25000 miles in this way in the late 1990s.
在美国佛蒙特州,13名大学生改装了校用大巴,用从自助餐厅和快餐店回收来的废弃植物油作燃料,开始了他们的越野公路旅行。他们相信植物油比柴油产生的污染少,因此他们希望借他们的旅行来传播环保信息。这些学生并非使用植物油作驱动燃料的开创者,上个世纪90年代末,一个叫约书亚·提克尔的美国人就曾以这种方式行驶了2.5万英里。
