It was a premier and a kick off at the same time – the first Club of Pioneers ‘The Editors invite’ event took place in Frankfurt, Germany during the IAA. Thanks to our pioneers and experts from the automobile industry, the night was a great success and we had so much fun that....it won’t be long until the next event and you can be part of it. An event-series worldwide is already in the planning process.Watch our first community clip....

All together 25 pioneers attended at rather short notice to meet and mingle with the Club of Pioneers’ editorial team, the experts from BMW and Loremo in the small restaurant “Blumen” (Flowers) at night.

The program was rather short on purpose: just 7 minutes was all Anton Reisinger, Clean Energy BMW, and Gerhard Heilmaier, CEO of Loremo, got to present their company’s core vision of future mobility and kick off the discussion among the pioneers. Both did a great job, which was proved by the fact that hands-on pioneering took place during the event. Together with Heilmaier, our pioneers developed a design for the new Loremo prototype – all on a piece of paper and drawn by hand!

Anton Reisinger, BMW, explaining the Hydrogen 7Life size and no longer just a vision, two Hydrogen 7 cars were parked in front of the restaurant - ready to take the pioneers for a test drive. And yes, when taking a closer look there is nothing else than water vapour coming out of the exhaust….

Pioneer Boris who just can't believe it...During the day the pioneers also had the chance to visit the Frankfurt Motor Show, IAA, together with the Club of Pioneers team. The team set up dates for presentations, for example with Honda explaining their fuel cell vehicle being released on to the market (US and Japan) by the end of 2008.
