China Team and Pilot Andrew Yi Zong to drive Chinese-built DENZA electric car in #80edays EV rally starting 16 June
On 16 June 2016, the 80edays China Team will depart from Barcelona, Spain in a DENZA electric vehicle (EV) on an around-the-world rally with 10 other teams driving Tesla EVs.
The route for the 80edays ELDURO pure electric vehicle rally will take the 11 multinational teams across Europe, Asia, and North America, demonstrating that EV technology is ready for people around the world to seriously consider when buying their next car.
As well as demonstrating his commitment to a cleaner planet, 80edays China Team pilot, Andrew Yi Zong, CEO of PHNIX ECO-Energy Solutions, one of the world’s largest heat pump manufacturers in China, is paving the way for the ideals of the Chinese dream with his innovative Fission Startup Method. The Fission Method, a democratic election system that allows outstanding employees to run new business ventures or become shareholders, has led to the creation of 10 spin-off companies in 10 years.
“Chinese citizens, like Americans, are striving for a better life and many have aspirations to run their own businesses,” said Zong. “The Fission Method makes it possible for employees to become shareholders in the company they work for and even choose the leader by investing their own money to participate in the election process. Through an exciting internal selection contest, employees vote for the best candidate, who also pays to be a contender, and the person with the most votes becomes the general manager of the new company.”
Andrew Yi Zong will be presenting his Fission Startup Method during the “Global Disruptors Speaker Series” of events being held on the East and West coasts of the United States between 23 June and 10 July, dates and locations to be announced.

Rafael de Mestre, creator of the 80edays Challenge, crossed the globe in 2012 in a Tesla Roadster in 127 days, making him the first person to drive around the world alone in an all-electric standard vehicle in less than 200 days.
“Andrew is a perfect candidate to captain an 80edays team because he cares passionately for the planet and he’s so enthusiastic about electric vehicles,” said de Mestre. “He’s also in the unique position to take more than two months off to drive around the world because of his astute business acumen that empowers his employees to manage the businesses in his absence, which is key to why we selected him to represent China.”
Looking to gain inspiration from de Mestre, the 2016 80edays ELDURO participants aim to reach the finish line in Barcelona in 80 days or less by 4 September. More details can be found in 80edays press releases at:
