The objective of the project is to purchase four black and yellow tempos and drive them from Kathmandu to Worcester, whereupon they will be exchanged for economic and environmentally friendly prototypes to be driven back to Kathmandu where the technology can be perpetuated by Nepalis.

The Tempo is a very common method of getting around, particularly in urban areas of the Third World. This machine is not indigenous to Nepal alone but is common throughout the Indian sub-continent and South East Asia.
