The Energytruck, a travelling exhibition organised by the Gas Museum, arrives in Cuenca
The Energytruck, a large sustainable truck designed by the Gas Natural Fenosa Foundation Gas Museum, offers a visual and interactive introduction to what energy is and how we can consume it responsibly.
It can be visited for free at the Plaza de España in Cuenca from 13 to 15 February, and then at the Plaza Mayor in San Clemente on 16 and 17 February.
Gas Natural Fenosa Foundation's Gas Museum has designed an exhibition entitled Energytruck, which has visited more than 100 municipalities in Spain since January 2016. It informs the general public about energy, the environment and industrial heritage in a fun and interactive way. through educational activities run by specialised educators. This exhibition vehicle will arrive in Cuenca next week, where it will stay for a total of five days: three in the capital and another two in San Clemente.
The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday 13 to Wednesday 15 February at the Plaza de España in Cuenca, before travelling to the Plaza Mayor in San Clemente, where it can be visited on 16 and 17 February. In both places, it will be open to the public from 9 am to 2 pm and then again from 4 pm to 7 pm, alternating between visits from the general public and pre-arranged visits from schools and social groups.
Educational and environmental development
The aim of this Gas Natural Fenosa Foundation project is to contribute to the educational, environmental and cultural development of society, showing what energy is and how we can practice responsible energy consumption in a visual and interactive way. It looks back at the past to show the historic changes and social progress that followed the arrival of gas and electricity, and also looks forward to the future, to reveal what energy will be like in the years to come.
The truck is equipped with a natural gas twin engine that produces between 15% and 20% less CO2 than conventional diesel engines.
The 70-square-metre mobile exhibition boasts a wide range of technological equipment, including audio-visual, interactive and multimedia content, as well as information panels. Visitors will be able to experiment with the content through practical activities centred around them. The project also includes workshops and educational activities led by specialised educators, who will share their knowledge of science and technology. The activities, which are free, are suitable for all ages and adapted for people with disabilities.

The Energytruck is starting a new route through Castilla-La Mancha this year, a region it visited last year in addition to Galicia, the Region of Madrid, Extremadura, Andalusia, Catalonia, Castile-Leon, the Region of Valencia, the Basque Country and La Rioja.
Since it was launched in January 2016, the Energytruck travelling exhibition has been visited by over 61,400 people. More than 24,300 primary, secondary and vocational training students have taken part through their schools, and over 37,100 people have done so through various social groups or on days open to the public.
