Hanawa Returning to Pike?s Peak with a New Yokohama BEV

Japanese driver Ikuo Hanawa is coming back to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 27 to chase the Exhibition Division championship in a new Yokohama Electric EV Sports Concept HER-02 auto with Sanyo batteries. Hanawa finished behind winner Randy Schranz in the Exhibition Division last summer, but Schranz is moving over to the Pikes Peak Open field this year. Using the same technology that is used on Computer batteries, Yokohama and Sanyo?s goal is to get to climb to the top and win the crown this time.
