Motocross and sustainability remain a topic that stirs emotions.
In the background, a working group is working on a quick, small but effective intermediate step towards more sustainable motocross in the Benelux;
Fuels based on a different base than the fossil 'standard' gasoline and lubricants.
Using this is not only better for the environment, but it would also make the sport cheaper for the practitioner.
An additional benefit would be that the sport gains more prominence with various governments in terms of sustainability.
The reason they are releasing news already is the current price increase on the global energy market.

 

We want to do something fundamentally different; the idea originated from out-of-the-box thinking following a brainstorming session with a number of stakeholders within motorsport.
Someone once shouted something as a joke in the canteen after a training session, and this got us thinking seriously.
Several manufacturers are already working on electric motocross bikes, but these are nowhere near the level of current internal combustion engine bikes. The range is still far too limited, and moreover, there are all kinds of practical concerns regarding safety and handling electric motorcycles in the event of a crash. Furthermore, the energy infrastructure at many tracks is nowhere near sufficient for electric racing. These are issues that cannot be solved quickly.
The reuse of energy or fuels is already widespread, so why not within motocross?
We came up with the idea of ​​reusing frying oil. This is indeed out-of-the-box, but when we pursued this idea further, it turned out to be practically feasible and easy to realize. A few years ago, a trial was already conducted in Belgium with a car that ran on frying oil as fuel. A combustion engine that uses this in its drivetrain is therefore possible, albeit with some minor adjustments that are actually easy for anyone to implement. At this moment, unfortunately, we cannot yet share any news regarding the products we intend to bring to market. However, amidst the current climate—in which the global energy market is exploding due to recent developments in the Middle East—we are choosing to cautiously release this news now.
Our fuels and lubricants will not only be cleaner and more sustainable, but will also be many times lower in terms of cost for the motocross rider than the fossil variants. In this way, a perfect win-win situation is created for both the environment and the practitioner of the sport.
