The Italian electric superbike, the eCRP 1.0 is no longer a secret. Yesterday the Rt Hon Lord Drayson, UK Minister for Science and Innovation, unveiled the super sports motorcycle built by CRP Racing and launched for the first time at the Motorsports Industry Association (MIA) Green Conference in Birmingham, UK. CRP Racing is very pleased to unveil its ground-breaking motorcyle in terms of innovative technology in the UK with the Minister of State for Science and Innovation. The event was supported by the UK Department for Trade & Investment (UKTI) whose aim is to promote business exchanges between UK companies and international companies. This has been demonstrated with the project of the bike eCRP 1.0, where the UK-based company, TTXGP, has collaborated with the Italian company CRP Racing. The eCRP 1.0 will be the first Italian bike that can be bought by teams that want to be part of the TTXGP, the world’s first zero carbon, clean emission motorcycle series. It was a momentous occasion for CRP: Franco Cevolini, Livia Cevolini and Giampiero Testoni, were invited to be on stage together with UK Minister, Lord Drayson, Azhar Hussain, founder of TTXGP and Chris Aylett, Chief Executive of the MIA.
