FORMULA E’s chief played down comparisons with F1 and said the all-electric racing series had pointed the way to the future of motoring as it gears up for its third season.
An influx of major manufacturers and a schedule that includes Hong Kong, Paris and New York underline the momentum of the electric car trend, Chief Executive Alejandro Agag said.
He said starting the 10-month, 12-race season in chronically polluted Hong Kong highlighted the benefits of electric motoring — cleaner engines and better air.
“I think the objective of Formula E is to change the perception of electric cars and encourage people to buy electric cars,” the Spaniard said, ahead of tomorrow’s season-opening race in Hong Kong.
F1 has proved a potent tool in promoting Hong Kong’s Asian rival Singapore, but Agag said it was unfair to compare Formula E with its much larger precursor.
While high-octane F1 has built up its following over decades, Formula E, the first electric racing series, only started in 2014 and has different objectives, he said.
“We try never to compare Formula One and Formula E, we’re totally different concepts,” he said. “But racing electric cars promotes a different technology. And I think the association with Hong Kong, the values of sustainability and a clean city, go together well with Formula E.
“So if you want to promote those values it’s going to have a major impact.”
Manufacturers Renault, Jaguar, Audi and BMW are already involved in Formula E, while Mercedes has taken an option to enter a team from 2018.
Agag said he was also in talks this week with Brazilian driver Felipe Massa about joining a Formula E team when he retires from Formula One this season.
“The momentum is fantastic, not only for Formula E but for the electric car concept in general,” Agag said.
JERUSALEM， Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Rescue forces said Tuesday they pulled a fourth body from a multi-story underground car park that collapsed a day before in Israel's financial capital Tel Aviv.
The teams believe that other three missing construction workers are trapped underneath the rubbles. "The effort is ongoing，" a military spokesperson said in a statement.
Local media reported that the missing workers are Palestinian citizens of Israel and Palestinian residents of the West Bank.
Some 50，000 Palestinians have permits to work in Israel， and many others are entering the country without papers. Together they compose a substantial part of Israel's construction labor force.
Hundreds of firefighters， soldiers， police officers， and medical personnel have been struggling to retrieve survivors after the parking garage collapsed at midday Monday， injuring at least 23 construction workers.
The structure was still under construction at the time of the collapse.
Earlier on Tuesday， Luba Samri， a spokeswoman for the police， said a third body was extracted. The construction worker showed no signs of life when the rescuers finally reached him， about 24 hours after the collapse.
On Monday night， the teams retrieve the body of another worker， identified as a 28-year-old man from Ukraine. Another body， also found on Monday， has yet to be identified.
The reason for the collapse is still unclear. Police have launched a criminal investigation into the collapse， suspecting negligence.
The accident occurred in Ramat Hachayal， a neighborhood in northern Tel Aviv， home to many offices of Israel's booming high-tech industry.
The car park was constructed by Africa-Israel， a construction company based in Israel that won a tender to build to the site from the Tel Aviv municipality.
Israel has a high number of construction accidents， compared to other developed countries. According to figures from the Economy and Industry Ministry， 30 workers were killed in construction sites since the beginning of 2016. Enditem

HO CHI MINH CITY, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Wearing big black earmuffs, holding a real U.S.-made M60 machine gun and fixing his sharp eyes on the target, Nguyen Quoc Vinh pulls the trigger, creating a continuous ear-splitting noise. The high school graduate from Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City seems engrossed by glorified battles, like the real ones his grandparents were involved in 40 years ago. "I feel like Rambo. Using a heavy M60, Rambo makes bullets drop like rain,"Quoc Vinh said, breaking into a broad grin after firing dozens of bullets in fully automatic mode at the Cu Chi shooting range at the Historic Relics and Cu Chi Tunnel Complex in Ho Chi Minh City.
The young man, who has recently left Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School in the city, told Xinhua that he would have fired some 500 rounds per minute if they had not been too costly at nearly 2 U.S. dollars per bullet.
Decades ago, bullets and bombs were used to kill or injure millions of soldiers as well as civilians during the Vietnam War, not to entertain ordinary people like Quoc Vinh in recent years. Forty years ago, on April 30, 1975, tanks of the Vietnam People's Army crashed through the presidential palace of the Saigon regime, just before the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government surrendered to North Vietnam, ending the Vietnam War among many belligerent parties, including South Vietnam, North Vietnam, the U. S., South Korea, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand.
These days, Ho Chi Minh City looks like a giant theme park with many streets
