Great joy at ART: Their “bike•protect” invention has been chosen for the Upper Austrian Energy Globe prize.
This is a public award for the motorcycle driving-over protector from Ohlsdorf. In the “Earth” category, Thomas Danner MS of ART, representing the entire team, was awarded the Energy Globe for an “exceptional contribution”. “bike•protect“ is manufactured of recycled old tires, as are many other innovative products from ART. The rubber granulate collected in this way is processed into a rubber-steel structure which is installed under the guard rails and which softens the force of impact and thereby prevents serious injuries.
The jury was convinced by the double utility of the project. The laudation stated: “Old car tires were the spark behind this idea for a world-wide business model that not only protects the environment, but also contributes to traffic safety”.
“We are extremely happy about It,” said Thomas Danner. “After all, there are several years of work in this product!”
