Image description

Two participants in a race for wood gas vehicles on 18 September 1944 in Lausanne, Switzerland, fill up the wood carburettor of their car with wood chips before the start. The race will take place as part of the Comptoir Suisse trade fair. Due to fuel rationing during the was, wood gasification was the only way for the majority of civilian vehicles to continue driving.
