In 1997, Joshua Tickell set off to tour America in his van. Nothing amazing about that, you’ll tell me, just another kid going on a road trip. Well, Tickell’s road trip was different, because his van was different.

Powered exclusively with cooking oil turned into fuel, Tickell’s ‘Veggie Van’ is 100% ecological and releases no toxic compounds into the atmosphere. It is Tickell’s effort to raise public awareness of the need for alternative, environment-friendly fuels. The van has been touring ever since it started in 1997, going to universities, film festivals, town meetings and political meetings promoting the use of biodiesel.
