Toyota Motor Poland, in conjunction with theToyotaDriving Academy, held their second Celebrity Eco Driving Challenge on 23 July 2010. Ten local celebrities competed to see who could achieve the lowest fuel consumption.
The Challenge was divided into three stages:
1. Warsaw to the Autodrome: This stage enabled the celebrities to familiarise themselves with the Prius vehicle while receiving eco-driving training en route. The celebrities followed the Royal Route which was closed to conventional traffic for the Challenge.
2. Autodrome: At the Autodrome the celebrities viewed a presentation on the driving qualities of the third-generation Prius. Practical training on safe driving was also provided.
3. Autodrome to Warsaw: Following the dedicated Royal Route again, the celebrities returned to Warsaw. On this leg of the competition, the fuel consumption of each vehicle was measured to determine which celebrity was the eco-driving champion.
Toyota Motor Poland provided ten Prius vehicles for the Challenge. Specially adapted cars were also provided at the Autodrome for the road safety training.
The winning celebrity - Mrs. Katarzyna Skrzynecka with her family - achieved an impressive average fuel consumption of 3.6 litres/100 km.
