At FORAGRI 2007, the Renewable Energy Fair in Gonzaga (MN) (19-21 January 2007) Labter-Crea, in collaboration with Mantova Town Hall, Mantova Province, CRF (Fiat Research Centre), SAPIO spa and AGIRE, the local agency for the intelligent management of the energy resources, has at its disposal a stand of 10 m x 3 m, where the Panda Hydrogen, the concept car Idrogenius made by ITI Bucci in Faenza, the  Regione Lombardia Zero Regio exhibition, together with a large screen where to show a no stop Zero Regio ad hoc made presentation and materials on Hydrogen didactic and applications.

The fair has 25.000 visitors: farmers, energy technicians + managers, schools, university students and teachers, mayors, referent people for environmental politics of towns ad provinces, responsible people for energy agencies, power equipment traders.

On Saturady 20 and Sunday 21 January the stewards (Massimo Codurri, Sandro Sutti and Davide Oneda) are "overwhelmed" by visitors: 5 to 20 people are around us at any time to have information and discuss about Panda Hydrogen performances, costs, production and advantages compared to conventional cars.

 "The interest we see in technicians, farmers, breeders, environmentalists, teachers and boys goes beyond our  expectations. The interest for the exposed technological innovations is not an end in itself; it is born from the hope that science, technology and politics can offer in a short term instruments in order to contrast the climatic change and the pollution of the urban atmospheres, whose devastating consequences have been occupying the media for weeks. Worries and hopes that we gather, together with the willingness of the citizens to give a  contribute for “a change of the route”, strengthen our idea that we must increase our efforts in this direction."
