Jay Leno's EcoJet powered by Imperium Renewables gets more play
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns (photo, R) and thousands of attendees at the Farm Progress Show last week got to see what millions have heard about on late night television. Tonight Show host and auto enthusiast Jay Leno has worked with GM in developing the EcoJet concept car that is propelled by a jet engine powered by B100 biodiesel. To build on this positive recognition of biodiesels benefits, New Holland displayed Lenos EcoJet in its exhibit at the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Ill. on Aug. 28 and 29. The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) CEO Joe Jobe appeared with Leno in a webisode of Jay Lenos Garage earlier this year. Leno uses biodiesel in the New Holland tractor that moves his cars in the garage. Leno also did a three-part series on the EcoJet. The EcoJet is one more example of how biodiesel enhances future vehicle technology, said Jobe. We appreciate the support of Jay Leno and New Holland for bringing the EcoJet to the Farm Progress Show. It helps us raise awareness for the important role that biodiesel plays in our nations energy security. Click here for sound clips, photos and more. Don Scott, NBB technical and regulatory engineer, has also traveled across the nation with the EcoJet on a promotional tour.
