• The Energytruck, a large sustainable truck designed by the Gas Natural Fenosa Foundation Gas Museum, offers a visual and interactive introduction to what energy is and how we can consume it responsibly.
  • It can be visited for free at the Plaza de España in Cuenca from 13 to 15 February, and then at the Plaza Mayor in San Clemente on 16 and 17 February.

The Gas Natural Fenosa Foundation Gas Museum has designed an exhibition entitled Energytruck, a touring truck that has visited more than 100 municipalities in Spain since January 2016 to inform visitors about energy, the environment and industrial heritage in a fun and interactive way through educational activities run by specialised educators. This exhibition vehicle will arrive in Cuenca next week, where it will stay for a total of five days: three in the capital and another two in San Clemente.

The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday 13 to Wednesday 15 February at the Plaza de España in Cuenca, before travelling to the Plaza Mayor in San Clemente, where it can be visited on 16 and 17 February. In both places, it will be open to the public from 9:00 to 14:00 and then again from 16:00 to 19:00, alternating between visits from the general public and pre-arranged visits from schools and social groups.

With this exhibition project, the Gas Natural Fenosa Foundation aims to contribute to the educational, environmental and cultural development of society, showing in a very visual and interactive way what energy is and how we can practice responsible energy consumption. It looks back at the past to show the historic changes and social progress that followed the arrival of gas and electricity, and also looks forward to the future, to reveal what energy will be like in years to come.

The truck is equipped with a natural gas twin engine that emits 15% to 20% less CO than conventional diesel engines.

The 70-square-metre mobile exhibition boasts a wide range of technological equipment, including audiovisual, interactive and multimedia content, as well as information panels. Visitors will be able to experiment with the content through practical activities centred around the visitors themselves. The project also includes workshops and educational activities led by specialised educators, who will impart their knowledge of science and technology. The activities, which will are free of charge, are suitable for all ages and adapted for people with disabilities.

The Energytruck is starting a new route through Castile-La Mancha this year, a region it visited last year in addition to Galicia, the Region of Madrid, Extremadura, Andalusia, Catalonia, Castile-Leon, the Region of Valencia, the Basque Country and La Rioja. Since it was launched in January 2016, the Energytruck touring exhibition has been visited by over 61,400 people. More than 24,300 primary, secondary and vocational training students have taken part with their schools, and over 37,100 people have done so through various social groups on the open days.
