A INNO truck will follow the convoy, which is the world largest electric truck, and will be used as charging station and media and press centre.

Commenting on the sponsorship from Generator Hostels, Alison Armitage, Sales and Marketing Director, said: “Renewable energies like wind and solar power are very important to a sustainable future. We all need to do our bit to help protect the planet for future generations and in supporting Gordon and Team GB during WAVE I saw a good opportunity to contribute to the important message of energy saving and responsible travel. With our support of Team GB we hope to increase awareness of these critical issues and help make a difference”
