The 42 teams from 14 countries use 20 participating vehicles which are divided into six categories: small vehicles, compact vehicles and family vehicles, each with diesel and petrol engines. The teams switched cars within their category and covered up to 400km each day.

The Eco Tour is organised to draw the attention of EU citizens to the most fuel efficient cars in Europe. This year’s overall winner was the SEAT Ibiza 1.4 Ecomotive with an impressive fuel consumption figure of 3.80 litre/100km. An outstanding performance that is seen as a demonstration of SEAT’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
