Chevrolet Aveo sets out on a 9,000 miles challenge around Mongolia

Chevrolet Aveo sets out on a 9,000 miles challenge around Mongolia: "Chevrolet has recently flagged off a modified Aveo on a 9,000 mile trip to Mongolia, starting from the Good Wood test track with no backup and no support whatsoever. The initiative has been taken to raise money for the welfare of children.

This is the first time an Aveo is set to travel such a long distance covered with treacherous mountain tracks, bad roads and deserts. The Aveo team participating in the Mongol Rally will be using a 1.2 liter diesel, modified Aveo.

The rally team consists of an investment banker, a marketing manager and a biology researcher, all of whom have no knowledge whatsoever about rallying. Ed Kliphuis, Guy White and Arnout Schepers are the three inexperienced but avid explorers in the Aveo and their main objective is to raise charities along the way and donate the money for the welfare of children to the SOS villages along the route."
